The Origin of the Feast Is Pagan,

Allied to the solemn religious ceremo-

countries customs and superstitions, which
are quaint 20 the verge of farcicality.
These go back to an origin earlier than
the Christian era, when the Saxons and
Angles celebrated the green days Of April
as sacred to the Goddess Ostara, the per-
sonlfication in the northern mythology of
the warming and quickening East. Some
part of her worship, taken over by the
more austere Christians, survives still in

the springtime festivals connected with
the latter day Easter. For long the Chris
tan era was an eight-day thanksgiving,
approximating the time devoted by the
psgans to their spring festivities. 1t was
afterward cut down to three days, then
to two, and finally dwindled to a single
day festival, commemorative of the re-
surrection of Christ.
The egg, typical of birth, has been for
centuries the special token and symbol
of Easter. One of the most curious of
egg customs is the game of ecclesiastical
ball, played with eggs in the churches of
England in the Middle Ages by monks.
These eggs were colored red, in allusion
TO the blood shed for sinners. From the
records it would appear that the rules
of the game varied in different churches,
but in the main the pastime consisted in
tossing the frail objects rapidly from
monkish hand to monkish hand, back and
forth and crosswise in bewildering con-
fusion. AS a missed egg meant smash
ed egg this pastime proved detrimental
to the church furnishings and in time an

In Germany not the hen. but the hare,
is responsible for Easter eggs. The houses
in which good children live are visited
at night by q white hare, who hides
numbers of beautifully colored eggs IN
hooks and corners. A Roman Catholic
belief is that the bells, which are silent
during Passion week, have set out for
Rome to get the Pope's blessing. They
return on Easter eve, to welcome the
resurrection, bringing with them gay
hued eggs for good children.
Easter superstitions are as numerous as
Easter customs. One of the oldest and
most widespread is that which makes the
sun participate in the general felicity by
dancing in the heavens on Easter DAY.
Devonshire maidens still get up early or

but also lamb and a flag in the center

more active, for there it is expected to

suns unusual feat was to watch for its
reflections in pond or pail of water
