Jerusalem at Easter.

The streets OF Jerusalem, forty
feet above the streets where Jesus
walked. are thronged on Easter day.
They crowd about the Chapel of the
Ascension, they swarm about the Gar
den of Gethsemane and the Grotto of
Agony, and they flow along the Via
Dolorosa, with it's fourteen stations,
each commemorating some act OF
Jesus. And about the Church OF the
Holy Sepulchre is a great multitude
of Armenians, Russians. Copts, Poles.
Greeks, Syrians. Turks, Jews and. oc-
casionally. Anglo-Saxons. Here are
takers selling bits of the cup from

Saturday was the Sabbath day OF the
Jews. That accounts for the DELAYED
visit to the tomb. Jesus was buried so
late Friday the women did not have
time TO anoint his body AS soon as
day dawned that Sunday morning the
women went to the tomb, and, accord

the tomb was rolled away At first
they were filed with grief. believing
