To the average churchman Of today the
name of Easter involuntary suggests one
of two things-the lily or the Paschal can
dle-or sometimes both, according to the
faith to which he may belong. Both have
from time immemorial been associated with
the feast and both are the expressions or
beautiful symboiisms, though doubtless our
very familiarity with them has done much
to make US forget this.
The prototype of the Paschal candle had
its origin in the Church of the Holy Sep
ulchre at Jerusalem, where in the early
days of Christianity, so far back that we
have no authentic record, the ceremony OF
extinguishng all the altar lamps on Good
Friday and blessing and relighting them on
Easter morning was instituted The medl-
aevai writer, Sir John Manndeville, In MS
delightful volume of Travels, tells US
that the central altar lamp before the holy
sepulchre went out "of ITSELF on the dawn
of Good Friday. and was relighted by
ITSELF at the hour that our Lord rose from
the dead He adds with charming natvete
that however. he does not place full be-
lief in all he has heard The ceremony
can be traced back farther-to the rites of
the Romans and Druids, to the reminding
of the Flame of Vesta, but this is its first
appearance in Christian worship.
In the early days through the vast num-
Der of pilgrims going to and from the sa-
cred shrnes of the east, eastern religious
customs tended to travel westward. And
so it was that from Jerusalem to every
church of Christendom this observance was
brought, to he incorporated into its tradl-
tions-aItered or modified often by the diff
ferences OF country or times, but always
preserving its original spirit and meaning.
Among the western nations the candle
had rapidly become the preferred fnstru-
ment OF church lighting, because of its
safety. cleanliness and freedom from odor.
And so it was that in adopting this rite
the lamp was replaced by candle larger
than the other altar lights and mounted on
a large labrum, that it might be readily
seen and it's symbolic meaning suggested to
those contemplating 1t.

ORIGIN OF THE EASTER EMBLEMS,
THE PASCHAL CANDLE AND LILY

the lighting of the Paschal candle in an
English church is found in the archives of
Durham Cathedral From them we learn
that on Easter eve, which was according
to the old calendar, the last day OF the
year, every spark of fire was carefully eN-
tinguished to be rekindled with fire solemny
blessed in the church. The fire having been
iSnited on the church porch by means of
a sun glass or flint and STEEL according to
the weather, the service was then begun
and at a given sentence in the ritual the
Paschal candle, which at this minister was
of colored wax and square in shape, was
solenlnly lighted. 1t was then carried at
the head of the procession which re-en-
tered the church and proceeded up the
center aisle, the deacons crying in unison,
"Lumen Christi = the flame of Christ
thrice during its passage from the church
door to the chancel. 1t was then placed
before the altar, the central object of all
the scene, for no other light remained in
the church and the ceremony of hallowing
and devoting it to the service of Christ
performed. Then as the priest pronounced
the last sentence of the service, the
acolytes clustered about the Paschal candle,
lighted their tapers from it and then re-
kindled every candle and lamp within the
cathedral. With this the service ended,
and thereupon the people of the congrega-
ton focked to the altar to light with the
consecrated flames the tapers with which
they would rekindle the fires on their
hearths for another year The chronicle
mentions that the candle used at this par
ticular service was about thirty feet tail
and burned continually until Ascension
day.
Originally the pasehal candle tvpifed
merely the death and resurrection of Christ
In the eXtinguishiag of all lights on Good
Friday was shown the darkness and blind
ness OF TIE world while he lay in the tomb
The unlighted candle represented his dead
body inert and ltfeless. but ready to blaze
forth in purity and brlliancy when His
Spirit, which the fire portrayed, returned
to it. And in the glorious blaze of altar
candles and lamps, rekindled from 1t and
surrounding it on every side, was seen the
inspiration of the disciples and apostles
who drew their strength from Him, and
without His fire could not have shown by
any merit of their own. The symbolism is
a beautiful and powerful one and should
bear a lesson to every worshiper, but sue
ceeding generations have added still more
to it. In the pure and unsullied wax of
the candle, the wax of cleanely bees, We

of the body and the perfection of His
divinity. which is symbolized by the fame
A whole sermon. and strongly impressive
one, is expressed in the mere form of this
Easter emblem.
The other Easter symbol the lily has
almost old history and can also be
traced back to pagan days. In the re-
lfgion of the Greeks and Romans II was al
ways the emblem of purity and innocence
and was sacred to Juno, the Queen of
Heaven and goddess of marriage. But
closer still is its connection through Saxon
mythology. With them it was the sacred
flower of the goddess Ostera, the goddess
of spring, from whom our Easter takes its
name Her feast occurred on the day OF
the resurrection, and when Christianity
came to Eng land and the Teuton tribes, the
observances of this day were too deeply
rooted in the minds of the people to be
quickly removed. So the fathers of the
early church Incorporated these customs
into the services of the day. retained the
name of the festival. and retained the
flower which was SO closely associated
with 1t.
And down to the present day ii has chung
to the celebration of Easter The p1schai
candle was lost to many denominations
through the Reformation. but the lily has
remained with all. Though temporarily
forgotten by some, ii has always returned
to brighten the cnuTcneS, TO MAKE US tHiiih
of the loving Kindness of the Father to the
titles of the field and to typiiy to us the
immaculate purity of Christ by its unseiied
whiteness, and His death and resurrection
by the bursting into lie Cnd blossom or the
apparently dead bulb.
It's first reappearance in the evangelical
churches of this county was in Henry
Ward Beecher's Brooklyn Tabernacle, and
it's adoption there seems to have been the
signal for its revival as Easter emblem
by all other such denominations. Today
there is not a church in the land where you
will not find it on Easter morning. There
may be other flowers besides. but II Is al
ways there. Iove.ie- thGn Solomon IN all
his glory but lovel:er still in the message
that II bears and the thoughts that 1t
awakens In our hearts. Easter is the feast
of flowers 'pascuas flordas as the Span
iards say-kut, above all, it is the feast OF
the lily.
