It hardly seems possible that the pres

Easter was practically unknown to tne
early history of church festivals. But
there was little religious spirit compared
to the more registering tendencies OF inc
age. Many of the customs were clearly
of pagan origin. The goddess 0stara or
Easter seems to have been the personln-
cation of the morning or east, and $50 Oh
the opening year or spring. The Anglo
Saxon name of Easter was Estermonatn
-Eastermonth. There can be little doubt
that the using of eggs at this season was
originally symbolical of the springing
forth of life in spring. The church, nat
urally. adopted it as q symbol OF future
life. And the use of eggs is the most
widely diffused of any custom.
They are usually stained with various
colors with dye-woods and herbs, ana
people mutually make presents OF tnem.
In some moorland parts of Scotland II
used to be the custom for young peopie
to go out early on ''Pasch Sunday and
search for wild fowls eggs for breakfast
and il was thought lucky to fird them.
Colo-ed eggs were used by children at
Easter in sort of game which consists
of testing the strength Of the egg shells.

"But, o, she dances such way
No sun upon an Easter day
Is half so fine a sight"

The game of ball was favorite Easter
sport, in which municipal corporations
formerly engaged with due parades and
dignity. and at Bury St. Edmund's not
above 40 years ago the game was kept up
with great spirit by II old women.
In the northern counties of England on
Easter Sunday the men formerly paraded
the streets and claimed the privilege OF
lifting every woman three times from the
ground, receiving the loan of a kiss or
silver sixpence. The same was done next
day by the women. The three times OF
lifting was to correspond to the three days
which covered the time Christ lay in the
tomb.

quantities of apples into the church yard,

the year threw three times as many as the
rest, after which all went to the minis

and ale
The primitive Christians, very early on
the morning of Easter, saluted each other
with the words, Christ is risen," to
which the response was made, christ Is
risen, indeed" This custom is sweet with
the quaint expression of piety and faith
belonging to other days than ours.
