S CHRISTIAN religion Early
explorers discovered that
the Alaskan Indians celebrated their
Easter in their own way, though, of
course, without the religious signifi-
canoe that attaches to ours as a
Christian festival. The Zulus have
an Easter. and since the memory of
man runneth not to the contrary, the
Hopi Indians of the Southwest have
celebrated the awakening" of nature
in the spring Indeed, the general
celebration of an Easter is as notice
able in ones studies of primitive peo-
pie, as is the use of the cross among
them, and we find that with every
people the cross has a significance
which is more often religious that
otherwise. Among the Indians of the
Southwest, for instance, the cross sig
mites the four directions of the COM
pass, and as their religion is compos-
ed of worship of the elements neces-
sary to the growing of their corn, the
cross idea has a place in it.
The Christian Easter however. as
it is celebrated among us to-day may
be traced back to the early days of
the Christian era. Although there is
no data now in existence, the early
disciples doubtless observed the an
niversary of the resurrection in a way
fitting to themselves and the times in
which they lived. In any event. on
the principle that all ceremonies have
their foundation in a mere custom. it
was early in the Christian era that
Easter became an established holy
day in the church, and now in all
lands where knowledge of the life
and works of Christ has penetrated it
is observed as a day of especial sa-
credness
Celebrating, as it does, an event
the event, indeed-upon which the
Christian, or rather, orthodox Christ
ian religion has been builded, it is
none the less movable holy day.
Concerning this popularity of the fes-
tival. there has ever been a great.
diversity of opinion among church
men, From the earliest times disputes
were held over the proper date of
Easter In some localities the actual
anniversary of the date was festaIly
observed. while in other localities the
date was determined according to the
prescription of the Mosaic Law.
General Council at Nicaea, however.
held in S25, ended both this diversity
and all controversy arising therefrom
by giving authoritative directions to
the following effect:
