EASTER PRECEDES CHRISTMAS AS
DAY OF CHRISTIAN REJOICING

Easter, commemorating to Christian
believers the resurrection of the
Savior of Mankind, and almost uni
versally as a day and time of joy
and feasting, is the Oldest of all
the festivals in the Christian cal
endar. Easter signalizes the formal
dawn of spring. Winter is at an
end; the trees and flowers, stirring
from their slumbers and throwing
off their coverlets of snow, put forth
bud and blossom; there is balm in
the air. 1t is the real awakening
of the new year.
Easter even antedates Christmas
as day of Christian rejoicing.
While Eostre or Pascha-ancient
designation day-has been observed
from the time of the foundation of
the Christian religion, it was not
until four centuries after the birth
of Jesus of Nazareth that His natal
day was set apart for general COM
memoration. Indeed, the origin of
the Easter festival is traced still
further back into the past to the
institution of the old Jewish feast
of the passover. According to a
church historian, "The first Chris
tians being derived from, or intimately.
connected with the Jewish church,
naturally continued to observe Jew
ish festivals, though in a new spirit,
as commemorative of events of which
those had been shadows. The pass
over ennobled by the thought of
Christ as the true Pascal Lamb,
continued to be celebrated and be-
came the Christian Easter"
A modern instance of like adoption
of ancient. forms to Christian uses
is reported by Galen NJ Fisher in
his "Creative Forces in Japan" One
Buddhist Feast of all Spirits, when
torches and lanterns are set twinkling
far and wide in the rice fields, and
the candles are lighted indoors amid
feasting and merFirnent.~ The change
