EASTER SUNDAY.
Celebration of the Festival---The Ser
vices at st. Patrick's Cathedral,
Trinity and Elsewhere.

The great FESTIVAL of Easter, the name Of which Is
supposedly relic Of Saxon Paganism-according to
the rather fancul time reckoning OF the ecclesiasl.
cal year, the eighteen hundred and thrty-eghth an.
niversary OF the Resurrection-was celebrated yes.
terday with gorgeousy beftting ritual in the several
Catholic and Episcopalian houses OF worship through
out the city, and to extent by other denomlna
tions though less formally and with less OF religious
pageantry and pomp. In this city the arrangements
for the observance Of the festival seem to have been
somewhat more elaborate and extensive than pend.
ing any former festa season. The various Catholic
and Episcopal affairs In the city had undergone
complete metamorphosis OF emblem, and whereas on
Good Friday sable everywhere dispensed its weeds
on Easter Sunday yesterday flowers had replaced
all symbols Of mourning, and the DEATH
which had been typifed in the weeds OF
the former, had suddenly taken upon 1t the
emblems OF life, springing out OF 1t and typify.
ing the triumph OF the latter over the former New
masses had been composed for the occasion, and
new anthems In many cases-for in religious worship
New York absolutely wreaks itself upon musical
originaity-and in many respects the observance Of
the day was more general and more decidedly ritual
istc than In former yearsa fact which s referribe
no doubt partially to the strong infusion OF European
Ism which pervades the population Of the metropo-
lis, but particularly to an instructive rtualistc
tendency the part OF the original Americans The
Lutherans very generally observed the conditions of
the feast with the exception OF few congregations
OF the new school; and the Untarians, piloted
by DR.. Osgood, were almost as gorgeous in music
and ritual as were their less rtuallstic brethren
OF ancient orthodoxy. The representative Catholic
services OF the day those st. Patrck's cathe.
dral, st. Stephens, St. Marys. St. James, St.
Teresa's and the Most Holy Redeemer. At
the latter the musical services were peculiarly
complicated including Lambilotte's Regina CHh,
Becker's Za7itum Ergo, a grand mass and
offertory by Diabelli and other imposing fea-
lures The Epscopalians were represented by the
gorgeous decorations and complicated music OF
Trinity, st. Paus, st. Johns the Annunciation st.
AIMS, Zion's st. Luke's, Trinity tup town. st.
Mathews and st. Adams, at the last OF which the
ceremonias approximate to the Catholic in rtualistic
windings and subtle allegores of meaning. Most OF
the aforementioned congregations were copious in
programme-for religious service without a pro-
gramme is now novelty-and in several OF their
respective places Of worship Saturday night services
were held by way OF preparation, was the case at
st. Adams, the leading New York representative of
extreme rtualism among American Episcopalians.

scriptions OF the services at ST. Patrcks Cathedral
