LISA in antiquity. The first trace

S.NAty celebrated in honor Of
x=SSsa Eastre, the Saxon goddess
OF spring. Then it became
identified with the Jewish passover,
and, about Us a. d., was Instituted as
@ Christian festival.
There are many quaint customs IN
celebration OF Easter in countries
where superstition still holds sway
over the minds OF the people. IN
Spain. Portugal and most OF South
America Judas, the betrayer, plays
prominent part III the proceedings
of Easter, and Holy Saturday is day
which is devoted almost entirely to
maltreating his etiigy.
Execution CT Judas.
On Good Friday the shopkeepers are
busy all day selling Judases, OF every
size and shape, by the dozens, to men,
women and children; and on the fol-
lowing morning the Whole community
is transposed into a place OF eXecl-
ton. Ropes are stretched across the
streets from house to house, and on
them are strung Judascs filled with
straw and gunDowder, black and very
ugly as they sway in the sunlight.
A few minutes before y O'CLOCK
there is & hush over all the place, and
then as the church bells toll out the
, noon hour a sudden frenzy seiZcS The
people and every Judas IS cut doWn
and hurled into flames amid lid
shouts OF rejoicing, and pandcmonium
Teigns supreme.
In Cuba and other Spanish-Arl214r

other places. AT an appointed hour
