up the hill to the burying ground

The Moravians believe that no man q

The sight OF God. So there are no
high monuments in the cemetery; only
plain rectangular stones laid fiat on
the graves, which are low and in very

living flowers, on this occasion the
swiss peasants begin at an early hour
on Easter morning to go about the
lanes and highways and through the
neighboring town, singing the old Eas.
ter anthems, to the accompaniment of
their guitars. They linger outside the
homes of the people in sort of ser

the doors and join them in singing
the choruses. They are welcomed and
treated with hospitality everywhere,
and continue on their gentle journey
ing until far into the night, when
they are accompanied by torch-bear
ers.
