S
Rabbit-and
Egg Legend
Universal
Joyous Easter is here. After Sun-
day school and church where special
Easter Sunday exercises make the
day more joyous, thousands and thou-
sands of boys and girls will return
home and hint for Easter rabbits and
eggs. Then the egg-rolling contests
will begin. But this great sport for
the youngsters will not stop with the
close of the day.” Easter Monday is
always a great day for the kiddies, if
they have any unbroken eggs left for
rolling. And there‘always seems to
be a reserve supply. Easter Monday
is a gala day for the youngsters of
Washington, for on that day they go
to the White House grounds where
they roll their vari-colored eggs for
the President and first lady and, of
course, for their own entertainment.
Easter is now a Christian festival
in memory of the crucifixion and
resurrection of our Savior, but it had
a heathen origin. It is a relic of the
pagan festival of spring celebrating
the rebirth of life after the dormant
period of winter. It was not until
395 A. D. that the Council of Nice
proclaimed Easter as the time for
celebrating the resurrection of Christ.
The council also decreed that it should
be a movable feast y/hich cannot be
earlier than March 22 or later than
April 25, and that it be determined
by the old paschal or Jewish lunar
month, always falling on the first
Sunday after the full moon on or next
after March 21. Thus, if the full moon
falls on Sunday, then Easter day is
the next Sunday.
Easter Legends.
All youngsters know about the rabbit
and eggs and their connection with
Easter. The Easter egg and the legend
of the rabbit are universal. But how
did these symbols of this joyous festi-
val originate? The origin of egg-roll-
ing which most children enjoy so
much is supposed to have begun cen-
turies ago from the practice of farm-
ers rolling eggs over their lands to be
‘sure of abundant yields at harvest
time. This was because the egg was
the pagan emblem of the, germinating !
of life of early spring.
are told that the rabbits lay the eggs,
this reason the latter are

Why Eggs Were «Colored.

reiigiods encycicpedia says: “Becauss
the use of eggs was forbidden during
Lent, they were brought to the table
on Easter day colored red’ to sym-
bolize the Easter joy. This custom is
found not only in the Latin, but also
in the Griental churches.” Christians
are supposed to have adopted the egg-
rolling custom to symbolize the resur-
réction, and the eggs were colored red
in allusion to the blood of redemption.
Yet, other colors were later intro-
duced and now they have no special
significance except to make variety.—

Three Days
Noon! on a Roman road
By weary prisoners trod,
Bowed to the earth a fainting form,
The Son of God.
Night! and a naked Cross
Lifted against the sky,
On whose stark arms the Sun of God
Lay Down to Die.
u
Dawn! by an empty Tomb,
He who is strong to’ save,
The Son of God, hath conquered death
And rent the grave,
There is the hazard that one may be
wrong on Easter morning, and yet it
seems, so far as recollection serves,
that Easter mornings commorly are
suited to the joyous significance of the
day. The sunshine loves the earth,
and’ lingers gn it, and trees put forth
their leaves in tender haste, and shrub
and tree, after their fashion, are in
bloom. One would vow almost that
the cherries bloomed for Easter, and
that the quince in the garden had put
forth in token of the resurrection.
It is excellent, in all .truth, that
Easter should fall as it does in this
region, and ever a broad belt of the
planet. For the season is—shall we
not say?—synchronized with the mes-
sage, and the mother earth cries out,
albeit dearly, that there is no death,
but only the seeming thereof. You
will look long in months to come for
turf that is greener than the sod of
Easter Sunday, for flowers that are
more innocent of hue and petal. And
if it be fair, as we insist the morning
ought of right to be, you will look |
long for such anoth€r morning.
For so many, man? days the earth |
has slept, in that Sumber which
feigns death. Seed and root in their
loam, dreaming of a time when a
touch should awaken them, -and they
her up and extort a kiss for her free-
should rise to be with. and of the
world again—a world of sunshine and
laughter. Is there aught of sadness in
this? There is much of promise ful-
filled. For the seed quickens and the
fibers rouse once more, that Easter
shall be pleasant, and that lane and
lawn shall have leaf and flower and
bladed green. On all ordinary occa-
sions we have little faith in weather
prophecy—but this morning should be
blithe and sunny. It really should be,
for it is Easter.—Portland Oregonian.
German Kiddies Believe
Easter Hare Lays Eggs
The Easter “hare” originated in
Germany, and there the little children
in the German village are taken to the
woods the day before Easter and each
child makes a nest of twigs and then
runs away. Then when he comes back
next morning, lo! the nests are all
beautifully filled. Who else but the
hare could have laid the eggs? For
the hares do not lay ordinary eggs.
Only large painted, candy eggs. At
least that is what every child in Ger-
many is taught to believe.
In certain English provinces there
is in vogue the queer “lifting” custom.
If a crowd of women meet a man they
seize him and lift him up three times,
and h> must pay a forfeit if he would
escape. On Easter Tuesday the men
retaliate. The woman must beware
then. The men will seize her and lift
dom.
For several years now there has
been an interesting sight in the Good
Friday procession in Seville. A gal-
lant society man, much muffled and
disguised, walks barefoot and carries
a heavy cross. Those who do not
know him think, of course, that he
must be extremely devout to put him-
self to so much discomfort. But he is
not religious a bit. He is only walking
to save the family money. The law
of inheritance in his family compels
him to do it.
It seems that several centuries ago

made a vow that if he ever returned
to Spain alive he would join the Good

would, carry a heavy cross. This he
did, and furthermore, he made a con-
dition that all male inheritants if they
wished to inherit the family property,
should do the same.
So while the present gentleman in
Seville performs his penance, his
