  We study symmetry breaking in the static coordinate-system of de Sitter
space. This is done with the help of the functional-Schr\"odinger approach used
in previous calculations by Ratra [1]. We consider a massless, minimally
coupled scalar field as the parameter of a continuous symmetry (the angular
component of an O(2) symmetry). Then we study the correlation function of the
massless scalar field, to derive the correlation function of the original
field, which finally shows the restoration of the continuous symmetry.
