Virgin's garland, Many of the churches in the Deanery of Craven are adorned with these garlands, which were made of flowers, or of variegated colored paper, representing flowers, fastened to small sticks, crossing each other at the top, and fixed at the bottom by a circular hoop, which was also pasted over with paper. From the top are suspended two papers, cut in the form of gloves, on which the age and name of the deceased virgin are written. When a young woman died, unmarried, one of these votive garlands was borne before the corpse, by two girls, who placed it on the coffin during the funeral service. From thence it was conveyed, in the same manner, to the grave; and afterwards was carefully deposited on the skreen dividing the choir from the nave, either as an emblem of virgin purity, or of the frailty and uncertainty of human life," whose beauty shall be a fading flower."
