Is the greatest on the Hebrew calendar, and
Is preceded by the Great Sabbath, which COM

commemoration of the escape of the Israeli
ties from the bondage in Egypt where they
were held in slavery, on the night when God
killed the first-born in every Egyptian house,

days. During that time there will be feasts of
Joy as we'll as solemn ceremonies. On the even
ing of saturday all the synagogues will be open
and solemn service will be held. At the
close of the service tho people will return
home aud gathering around table with
friends and strangers, for all Hebrews are
welcome on this occasion, the story of the
flight from Egypt will be retold and hymns
sung. In the service symbols are used en-
blematic OF the bitter bondage, tho slaugh-
tered lamb whose blood was sprinkled on the
door posts as an evidence of the faith of the
Jews and the unleavoned bread eaten at the
time of tho exodus. On the following morn
ing all the synagogues will be thrown open
for service. The reformed Jews perform all
the ceremonies, but they only observe the two
first and the two last days of the fast instead
