The feass of Easter, the symbolic season
of a glad revival of all nature. is always
. celebrated among the Christian churches
with particular services.
The earliest observance of a festival at
this season is believed to date back into
pagan times. Then the arrival Of spring
with its sunshine and wealth of greener
after the gloomy discomfort of winter be-
came natural occasion Of rejoicing which
aftc-Eard centered round some particular
day. This day and occasion were at a later
date adopted as a feast by the Christian
churches. which supplemented the sentiment
already existing by grating upon II a re-
liglOus significance, looking toward immor-
tally and the resurrection of the dead.
One OF the symbols of this religious senti-
ment is the Easter egg, which was desired
10 convey the principle of life springing
from apparently dead material Other
symbols, specially in request tor church
=. decorations at this season, are the myriads
Of flowers 10 be found so plentifullv inst
. now. As a general rule white flowers
are chosen. with reference to their SYM
bolic significance of purity, but while this
hue is hrSr choice, every other kind of
c0lOred blossoms is frequently seen in the
beautiful decorations.
