Easter Antedates
Christmas AS a
Religious Event

Easter, concentrating to the
Christian believer the resurrection
of the Savior of mankind: and, to
the secular mind, the formal open.
ing of the springtime season; but
observed as festival of joy and
feasting by both, is the Oldest of
all the festivals in the Christian
calendar. 1t is the day which mark
ed the beginning of the preaching
of the gospel of Christ. Easter
even antedates Christmas as a fix
ed event; for, while the day of the
resurrection has been observed from
the foundation of the Christian re-
ligion, it was not until four cen
turtles later that the natal day of
Jesus of Nazareth began to be cele-
brated.
Not less n fixed event than Eas,
