HANGING OF THE GREENS

Today we celebrated our Hanging of the Greens service, a long tradition at the Colerain Presbyterian Church, and one greatly enjoyed by friends and members. The ceremony reminds the old and educates the young regarding the symbolic meanings of the decorations so commonly displayed at Christmas time.
