GARLANDS: Garlands and flowers played an
important part in the private and public life of the
ancient Egyptians. The court used a hundred
garlands daily for the adornment of wine-vessels,
and at festal repeats the guests decked themselves
with wreaths. Flowers were offered to the gods and
the sarcophagus of the dead was entwined with
them. The use of wreaths and flowers by Greeks
and Romans is well known. The Israelites had
no especial fondness for flowers, although it may
be mere accident that there is no mention of flower
gardens. The use of green sprays and flowers for
personal adornment at banquets, marriage feasts,
and on other festival occasions was, however, not
foreign to the Israelites
