rectiOn
1t seems homogeneous, at first
thought, that Easter-the principal
festival of the Christian church-and
All Fools Day-a day Of practical
jokes and horseplay-should fall on
the same day-and on Sunday at that.
On second thought, however, there
is nothing incongruous about 1t, e1-
cepting the fact that All Fools Day
should fall on Sunday-and that is the
fault of our fearful and wonderful
calendar.
Both Easter and All Fools Day had
their origin, away back in the begin
nings of the race, In delight at the
approach of spring. 1t may be easily
understood that the winter was q
hard season for many o. the primeval
peoples and that the increasing
warmth of the sun and the springing
I'D of vegetable life meant literally
renewal Of life. So the vernal
equinox celebration Of primeval peo
pies was largely expressed in actions
Of exuberant Joy.
Even after the coming Of Christian
| ity Easter was celebrated with games,
songs. dances and dramatic shows. In
the Middle Ages 1t was the custom ar
Easter for the people to listen TO
amusing tales from the pulpits Of the
churches. Special cakes were baked
/ our modern equivalents are hot-cross
buns and simnel cakes. Brightly
painted eggs were presented to friends.
So there was originally little diff
ference In the celebration Of the two
! days. In fact, the modern celebration
of All Fools Day Is probably a sur
vival of the less serious features of
Easter day.
Anyway, All Fools d. is apparent
call the victim of an All Fools Day
Joke a "gowk" or cuckoo" The
French name for him IS "un poisson
d'Avril'-April fish. The Romans eel
ebrated the Feast Of Fools on Febru-
airy II. The Hindus have their Hull
festival on March 81.
So it is likely that the popular cele-
bration In this country of April Fool
Day" is the survival of some pagan
! festival of the ancient world largely
devoted to horse play and the playing
| of Jokes in sheer exuberance Of spirit
because of the coming of spring.
The pictures show three phases of
the celebration of April 1, 1923. One
shows a crowd of worshipers going
into st. Thomas church on Fifth ave
nue., New York city. Another shows
a survival Of prehistoric days-the
egg-rolling on the White House lawn
by children on Easter Monday. The
third suggests the pranks of All Fools
Day.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1923-03-30

giving and Christmas, for instance,
create so great a demand for turkeys
that thousands of people in turkey
states like Texas and Missouri and
Kansas bend all their energies TO have
their turkeys ready for the market at
the psychological moment.
And when everybody wants turkey
the general public eats less meat.
Hence the butchers and market men
have TO keep a watchful eye open.
Now, as everyone knows, Easter Is
preceded by the Lenten season Of 46
days During Lent the American
people eat less meat than usual and
more fish and oysters and more eggs.
SO ii makes a lot of difference to a
lot of producers whether Lent begins
in February or in March.
Then there's the climax Of the de
mand for eggs at Easter. Besides, the
demand for baby chicks is so great at
Easter for advertising, display and
gift purposes that many incubators
the country over have TO set their
hatchings with Easter Day in mind.
In short, it seems a truism that
holidays, whether of festivity or fast
ing, patriotism or prayer, are reflected
in the busy marts of the country. And
one of the most far-reaching in influ-
ence is Easter. with its month-long
variation in dates
Easter is the principal festival of
the Christian church, commemorating
the resurrection of Jesus Christ from
the dead.
Nevertheless, Easter has an origin
far antedating the resurrection OF
Christ-one that goes back to the
early days Of man.
Casters original significance was
the celebration at or near the vernal
equinox of the beginning of new
year. 1t celebrated the end of win.
ter and the approach of spring-the
coming of light and heat-and life.
At Rome the sacred FIRE in the TEN
ple of the Vestal Virgins was kindled
anew on March /, which was the be
ginning of the new year. A CORE
spending ceremony is still common IL
various parts of Europe. Bonfires are
| lighted from a flame originated Nby
the priests on Easter eve. These
fires are kindled every year on the
same hill, which usually is given the
name Of Easter Mountain" The sig
nifcance is this: AS far as the light

When Christianity came to the
