Surely nowhere on earth at present is the festival of Easter with greater pomp and than at Jerusalem by Jew, Mahometan and Christian its symbolic meaning only varied by devotees of three g: faiths. To the devout Jew it is still Feast of Passover; to the Moslem it is the anniversary of Isaac's release from death on Mount Moriah: to the Christian it is infinitely more, for are Gethsemane, Golgotha and the Holy Sepulchre, which speaks to him "nost eloquently of the Resurrection Wonderful Western are those Easter ceremonies in the Orient. Rarely does the Greek and Latin ati val fall upon the same date. [It fore happens that for weeks pligrims ¥rom bo:h churches Jeruza- lem from the four of qarth.

Like a hnge shadow stands the Tower of David and the citadel. . Beyond the city one sees the pale breasts of the Hebron hills, where Abraham and Isaac lie at peace On the Wednesday preceding Easter the visitor wakes before sunrise, roused by what seems the walling of bables. In the open square north of the Jaffa gate he sees huddled togeth- er as densely as they can stand flocks of sheep and goats, with thelr shep. herds, all the roads leading to the Bquare allve with herds bleating pit- eously and half strangled with thirst and the white alkaline dust of Jeru- salem. Thousands are here already; thousands more are on their weary way, for It is “a sheep to a man” in Moslem land. The herders are loud volced and quarrelsome; they fight each other for best places, beat their own flocks and others’, and turn the morning into a sort of Hades of curs ing and confusion. No man would guess that this scene is the beginning of a religious cele bration which exiends over every inch of Mahometan territory on earth. [It is the preparation for Kurban Bairam.
