time of the year is that which is close
upon Easter Sunday.
Professions are the chief feature, and
the images of Christ and the saints,
which figure in these professions, are
the treasures of the small city. The gay
city of Seville has the most gorgeous
celebrate of Easter perhaps in the
world, in the matter of symbolic cere-
monies in the streets. and as the most
beloved city of the Spaniards its prac-
tees have had a wonderful influence
over the little towns, so many of which
nestle against the mountains or sun
themselves along the sea.
Rome. Petrograd and Venice have
caught the ear of the world with
the music of their services during the
week of the Passion but in the COM
bined gravity and colorful symbolism
with which the little towns of the Span
ish peninsula go about observing
Easter there is no superseding. The
images of st. Anne. the mother of the
Virgin: of Mary MagGalene and the
Savior are the most popular and the
most revered. and those which are most
adored in the professions. The figure
of the Christ in Fontarabia is very old.

spoken of as purely Slavic feature.
In the houses of the prosperous, before
the war. the tables fairly groaned with
viands for the Easter dinner that fol-
lowed close upon many days of very
abstemious fasting. Before the meal
was prepared in any household. great
or small. the food was brought in
baskets to the churches, where priests
sprinkled it with holy water and gave
it their blessing. A lamb cooked whole
formed the centerpiece of the table. as
much as a goose in Germany or a tur-
key in the United States at a Christmas
dinner.
Moscow is the center of the religious
as well as the civic life of Russia. On
Easter day the wan faces of the
humber people, who have observed
the fasts and abstinence of Lent, glow
with the zealot's confidence that their
prayers will he answered, and they
kneel at the Easter mass and. with
bright eyes. seem enwrapped in the
mystery of the holy presence.

apart a fund to be expended every year

In the Orthodox Catholic Church in
Greece one of the most attractive fes-

preme. All the week before Easter
Monday there is prayer and medta-
ton throughout Greece. Many of the
faithful come from Turkish territory
to join their fellow believers in Athens,
and then HE to the country to join in
the dancing. It is particularly at
Megara, Elleusis. Corinth and in some
hamlets of the Peloponnesus that
these fetes are most typical and pic
turesque. Men and women of all ages,
decked out in national attire, spend
the day after Easter making merry in
the fields
These dances are as old as Greece
itself, as old as the myths of Olympus
and Pan, but they have become inter-
woven with Christianity and are used

many other primitive dances, this
Easter Monday dance starts with the
younger women forming circle and a

Across the border. in Rumania. a
country which needs nothing except
itself to make it picturesque, Easter is
celebrated by various customs, one of
which is the kindly one of visiting
Christian prisoners and distributing
Easter cakes. Perhaps the commonest
sight on Easter Sunday is the strange
ly assorted. group of well dressed
women and children with platters of
