The time is fast approaching to
which the children look eagerly forward
in the early spring, the Easter festival,
the eve of which brings an old custom
that had its origin in Rome, then was
featured in France, from which country
it was brought to Natchitoches and
each year with possibly one or two
lapses the parade of the Boeuf Gras,
or Easter beef is eagerly awaited
on the Saturday before Easter. To the
music of fiddle" and drum, with its
neck and horns gaily caparisoned with
garlands Of roses the finest steer that
can be found, and has been fattening
during the penitential days, is paraded
through the principal Streets, for the
ed1fication of those who are to feast on
the morrow. This is one of the old
customs which has become traditional
and it is earnestly hoped that it unlike
many of the others that have been
discontinued from time to time, will
yearly delight not only the children but
those of an older growth and even more,
the strangers within our gates.
