EAST ER SUNDAY.

To-day, Easter Sunday, is the festival OF
the glorious rising Of our Lord from the dead
1t has been observed from the earliest times
Of the Christian era, and is celebrated with
great solemnity and devotion. On that day,
after the mournful ceremonies of the Passion
week, during which the churches are draped
In mourning, the glad "cavillon' of bells and
the singing Of joyful hymns celebrate the re-
surrection of our Lord. In all the churches
Of this city solemn high mass will be said
and our best amateur talent will be engaged
to render the beautiful and sublime anthems
of the Christian Passover. In many Christian
countries Easter is celebrated by the people
with many sports, ceremonies and supersti-
tons.
On that day the children are presented
with colored eggs boiled in some dyeing
agent, which they use in a kind Of game to
test the strength Of the egg shell. There are
many other usages, customs and supersti-
tons peculiar to Easter Sunday, which are
no doubt familiar to all.
Easter Sunday is the last day Of Lent. It
breaks the long spell OF fast, abstinence and
penance to which the Catholics have been
subjected during the forty days of Lent, and
now comes the time Of rejoicing and feasting
after long spell OF penitence over sins COM
