Description: 

When World War I ends, the event is celebrated with the ringing of "the courthouse bell" and "all the church bells too," on all "the Sunday steeples" around town (118). This icon represents those various churches. One of them would be the Episcopal church, mentioned separately in the novel as "the oldest extant building in town" (321). The novel does not mention the denomination of any of these other churches, but the other three main denominations in Jefferson and Yoknapatawpha are Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian - all Protestant.
