EASTER SUNDAY
! new YEARS day
Originally Marked the Beginning
of the Twelve NOTWITHSTANDING
Festivals in Vogue Long
Before the Time of
Christianity.
By REV. ARTHUR HOLT.

n ASTER Sunday was formerly
- equivalent to New Years day;
though not the first day Of the
year it was the day on which
the opening of the year was celebrated.
Historically the Christian Easter is
simply continuation of the Jewish
Passover, which was celebrated on the
18th day of the first month of the jew
ish year-that is, on the day of the
first full moon next following the day
of the equinox. 1t has been questioned
whether any special observance of this
day was practiced or enjoined by the
apostles and the early Church Fa-
Tiers; yet the words of st. Paul Il Cor.
6:7-8) seem to sanction If they do not
recommend an observance of some sort
and foreshadow the thought which
came finally to underlie it: Fer even
Christ our passover is sacrificed for
us. Therefore let us keep the feast,
not with old leaven, neither with the
leaven of malice and wickedness, but
with the unleavened bread of SINGER
Ity and truth" According to the jew
ish tradition, the Passover commemo-
rated the passing of the Angel of
Death over the houses of the 1sraelites
In Egypt, the doorposts and lintels of
which had been sprinkled with the
blood of the paschal lamb. The. Chris
tians, in adopting the fdAtival, gave it
q new significance. For them the Saw
Ior became the true Paschal Lamb, and
the new festival commemorated His
resurrection on the third day following
the Crucifixion.
The proper day for celebrating East
er was one of the, questions which the
Council of Nice "a. d. 325) was called
upon to decide. By the Eastern Chris
tians 1t was at that time celebrated on
the same day as the Jewish Passover,
without regard to the day of the week
on which it might fall. Among the
Western Christians, who held that the
crucifxion occurred on Friday and
the resurrection on Sunday, there
had arisen a custom of celebrating
Easter on the first Sunday following
the 18th of the first month, and to this
custom was given the official sanction
of the council. Furthermore, the rule
then established for fixing upon the
proper Sunday was designed partly to
prevent the possibility of Easter ever
falling on the same day as the Pass
over, but the rule has failed on several
occasions to prevent this coincidence,
and at rare intervals the two festivals
came together.
Changes in Calendar.
The old Roman year, like the Jewish
year, began in March. when the sun en-
tered the constellation Aries. When the

many of the observances which it be-
queathed to Easter. Thus it was for
merly q custom all through the north
of Germany, on the night of Easter
Sunday or the third night following, to
kindle bonfires on all the heights, af-
fording a magnificent spectacle, when
these fires We're to be seen here and
there over miles of country. This GUS
tom had become simply mode of
merrymaking, but it is held with plaus-
ibility that originally the bonfire was
symbolical of the new fire that was to
warm the earth and quicken it into re-
| winter
Ancient Popular Belief.
Another indication of the ancient
solar character of this festival Is an
old popular belief, said to survive still
in Brandenburg and Saxony, that the
sun at the moment of rising on the
morning of Easter gives three joyous
leaps, that he dances with youthful
| joy. This curious belief was not con-
fined to Germany. In the middle dis
tricts of Ireland, according to Brand,
it was customary, after spending East
er eve III merrymakng and carous-
ing-watching the pot boil, the con-
tents of which were to break the long
Lenten fast, yet must not be touched
before the growing of the cock-for
the whole company of jewellers to go
out just at daybreak to see the rising
sun take his three Easter leaps. Sir
Thomas Browne, writing of popular
errors, mentions thus quantity the ex-
istence of this belief in England: 1--WE
shall not, 1 hope, disparage the resur-
rection of our Redeemer, if we say that
the sun doth not dance on Easter day;
and though I would willingly assent
unto any sympathetic exultation, yet
we cannot conceive therein more than
a tropical (figurative) expression"
| Perhaps there is no more striking Illus
tration than this of the power of an
| inherited belief to live on in spite of
the testimony of all experience against
it. In some places, apparently as an
alternative for giving up the belief
wholly, it was held that in order to
witness these three leaps one must
look, not at Che sun ITSELF but at the
| TelleCllOn IL III u pun VI SiSui WabSi'
AS q last resort, to save the belief, the
sun might be made to dance. Brand
could recall that when he was boy
he had seen ga vessel full of water set
in the open air, in which the reflected
sun seemed to dance, from the tremu-
lous motion of the water" If the
mountain will not come to Mahomet,
then Mahomet must go to the noun
tain.
Among the customs handed down
through long ages and accepted by the
Church were those of Easter eggs and
the E"ster tale which the preacher told
from the pulpit, in lieu of sermon,
coruecting it with Christian reminis-
ccnces. Later still there were in Ger
many dramatic shows, named Oster-
spiele, exc :uted by twelve performers,
one of whom, apparently, was the
leader, and represented Summer beat
ing Winter out of the land. The dances
and sports prevalent at this season in
Germany among the youths and maid
ems appear sometimes to have been
marked with something of the loose
ness characteristic Of the floral games
In Italy.
The Colorado statesman., 1918-03-30
EASTER.

Life has loveliness to sell,
All beautiful and splendid things,
Blue waves whitened on cliff,
Soaring fire that sways and sings.
And children's faces looking up,
Holding wonder like cup.
Life has loveliness to sell,
Music like a curve of gold
Scent of vine trees in the rain.
Eyes that love you. arms that hold,
And for your spirits still delight,
Holy thoughts that star the night
Spend all you have for loveliness.
Buy 1t and never count the cost.
For one white singing hour of peace
Count many a year of. .strife well lost.
And for breath of ecstasy
Give all you have been, or could be.

Verse.

PALMS Significance.

umphal entry of our Lord into Jeru-
salem is the staff st. Christopher used

Christ Himself on his shoulder in his
work of carrying the, weak and small

calendar was reformed under julius
Caesar, the year was made to begin on
the first day of January. After the
adoption of Christianity in Europe, the
date of the beginning of the year was
changed to March in most countries, SO
that Easter became recognized as a
New Years day. The reform of the
calendar by Pope Gregory, in 1882,
again changed the day on which the
year began, although in England it
continued to begin on the 25th of
March until the adoption1 of the new
style" there in 1852.
Christianity found Spring festivals
already in vogue in heather Europe,
and to these oldtime festivals many of
the customs and superstitious rites still
connected with Easter are clearly
traceable. The name Easter, given to
the day by the Teutonic nations-the
Roman nations have retained the old
Hebrew name, pascha, under modified
forms, as the Jour de Paques, of the
French-is derived by Bede from Eos
ter or Ostara, the name of an old
Anglo Saxon goddess, in whose honor
a Spring festival was celebrated.
Grimm was unable to find any mention
of deity of this name among the an
clent Germans, but from the fact that
the month of April still bears the name
ostermonat Tin Old High German os-
tarmanoth), he did not doubt that such
a goddess, probably "the divinity of
the radiant dawn" had been known
among them. The old Oster festival
was clearly of solar character, cell
ebration in honor of the birth or the
rejuvenation of the sun of the new
year. This is made evident, aside from
the. known character of similar festl-
vals in other parts of the world, by
