The week ending to-day, April 8th, is called
Holy or Passion Week. 1t is the last week
in Lent. and is kept with great strictness in
the Episcopal Roman Catholic and Greek
churches. Easter, which will be celebrated
tomorrow in this city and throughout the

church year. In the Greek, Roman, English
and American Episcopal churches, the day is
celebrated with joyous mnsic, and special
services and the Altar Font, Prayer Desk
and Pulpit, are decked with flowers. Through
out the Empire of Russia, whoever meets an
other, salutes him with kiss, and the saluta
ton, "Christ is risen.' to which the other
replies, 'He is risen indeed, and hath appear
ed unto Simon" Even the Car himself
must thus salute his meanest subject.
