The interior of St. Mary Magdalene's Catholic Church in Edgewater, Jefferson County, Colorado, is decorated for Christmas. The altar with a Bible and two framed documents is within an arched apse; stepped shelves behind the altar hold flowers, candles and evergreen boughs, and evegreen garlands are above them. The apse has a painting on the back wall of "IHS" surrounded by angels, and the ceiling of the apse is painted with a lamb. Evergreen garlands bedeck the apse arch, the crucifix, and the nave ceiling; a creche with figures and evergreens is beside the apse entrance, and another altar with a statue of Jesus is on the other side. A white balustrade is in front of the altar, and wood pews are on either side of the central aisle.
