_Churches decorated at Christmas_ (Vol. iii., p. 118.).--In the
Episcopal churches of our country this custom is religiously observed;
the foliage of the holly, cedar, and pine being chiefly used for this
purpose at the south, together with artificial flowers. At Easter also
most of the _same_ churches are decorated, though some are not; and at
that season natural flowers are also used for the purpose, mingled with
the evergreen foliage of the trees mentioned above.
