AS-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 11, 1992 J.OLD ' THIS WEEK VV»T Easter Lore Easter, as currently celebrated m most households, is a curi ous blend of religious observance, ethnic tradition, and pa gan customs. Since earliest times this most holy day in the Christian calendar has included ancient traditions. Eggs, an early symbol of seasonal regeneration and fer tility, became a resurrection symbol as well. Other aspects of the seasonal rites which were transferred to Easter include dawn celebrations, lighting new fires, and adorning alters and homes with a profusion of flowers Even the word Easter was borrowed from the Old High German by way of the dawn-goddess Ostara. whose festival (Ostern) was celebrated at the spring equinox But Ostara gave us more than her name. Her escort was another fertility symbol, the rabbit, thereby provid ing one more tradition for modern times, the Easter Bunny A pleasant Easter Sun Jay means a bountiful harvest. ns- Clean dirty, streaking wii with baking soda and water. EAR^ISE Reducing the amount of waste that comes into our homes and difigently recy cling is only half a solution. It's like trying to use half a pair of scissors nothing is accom plished without the other half. The other half of recycling is using recycled products. If you recycle all your newspapers, but buy only virgin, bleached notebook paper for your kids it's one step forward and two steps back for the environ ment. As more and more peo ple buy “recycled,” the de mand increases, the cost comes down, and everybody benefits, including Mother Earth *** Contract with Purina Mills, Inc.
