ONLY ONCE IN 9 YEARS

This years religious calendar
shows an unusual coin incidence In that
the christian Good Friday and the
Jewish feast Of the passover fall on
the same day.
On account of the christian church
accepting the calendar of Pope Greg
DRY in place Of the lunar calendar OF
the Hebrews, these holidays are usual
ly one week, sometimes two. and
rarely, three weeks apart It will not
again happen in nineteen years that
the two holidays fall on the same
day. AS a rule, Easter Sunday Is
either one week before or one week
after the passover begins. according
to the following from the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
The passover, which is redolent OF
the spring time and carries many
pretty and interesting traditions OF
the Jews, begins next Friday evening
and lasts seven days. Eight days are
observed by the orthodox Jews.
The feast, which is one OF general
Thanksgiving and rejoicing, commem'
crates the release Of the Jews from
Egypt and their going into the wilder
ness In order to worship, in their own
way. their God.
