ill., sI THROUGHOUT Christendom
6tSy&SgN men, women and children
HGEEAN rejoice in the Easter festi-
HflVENGN val, time of gladness and
li5A-4gJ flowers. Although Easter
has long been a Christian
holiday, celebrating the bodily resur-
rection Of Christ, this feast day is
thousands of years older than Chris
tianity.
The theme of Easter is as old as
humanity. To each age of culture it
has had special meaning, but per-
haps to all it has had much the same
significance. Little is known Of the
connection of the Hebrew feast and
the English celebration, yet In the
passing of the feast from the Semitic
to the Aryan people and the inter-
weaving of these two cultures there
has been blending of customs that
from time to time have been part
OF the feast of the Passover.
The celebration of Easter In the
early days of the Christian church in
GUIDED the observance of the Lords
Supper, baptism of candidates. freeing
of slaves, liberation of prisoners and
other demonstrations Of joy. At that
time there was no rule for determin-
ing the date on which Easter should
fall Much later. however, certain
unfortunate controversies arose re-
garding the exact day on which the
resurrection Of Christ should be COM
memorated After long discussion the
time was definitely fixed during the
reign of Charlemagne, and the present
mode Of computing its annual occur
lrence was ordained by Pope Gregory
XIII.
Many Ancient Customs.
There were many beautiful customs
~ tShose days associated with the
solicitation of Easier. One Of partieu-
lar interest was for Christians to sa-
lutte each other with the words, rev
erenfly spoke, "Christ is risen.~
The panson addressed would, in turn
reply. ftGhrist is risaa, indeed"
This practice Is still retained by the
followers az the Greek church the
world over.

The ceremony of the Holy sepulchre.
originating in Jerusalem, having its
rise in the old mystery plays. also
was of peculiar interest. This was
considered one OF the most beautiful
and touching rites in ancient church
ceremonies. 1t pertained to the burial
of the cross. Following its alteration
on Good Friday the cross was washed
with wine and water, which was given
to the people to drink after the COM
munion In memory of the blood which
flowed from the side of the crucifled
Christ. The cross was then carried
to the sepuleher to remain until Eas-
ter morning, when 1t was triumphant
ly taken to the high altar of the
church.
Sepucher Of Flowers.
The sepulcher though in use only
for three days of the year, was a
most beautiful and costly structure
surrounded by wealth of adornment,
consisting Of floral offerings and 13
candles. representing Christ and His
apostles.
The offering of eggs to illustrate
the elements of future life. as an en-
blem Of the resurrection has formed
part of the Easter celebration for
centuries. This custom, now OBJ
served chiefly by children. formerly
was universal among all Christians,
both old and young. In various parts
Of England, Ireland, Germany and
France it is still the practice of the
peasants to roll, throw and finally eat
the egg with the belief that its vir-
tuous qualities will contribute to their
spiritual strength.
The use Of lilies at Easter IS one Of
great antiquity as well as one of great
beauty. The lily, the emblem of purity
and grace, Is known as the Virgins
flower, and has been associated with
the resurrection since the Fifth CEN
fury.
Another very old as well as uni
versally observed custom is the belief
that every one should be dressed in
new suit for Easter There was a
superstitution prevalent in old English
times that some part of ones dress
must be brand new at Easter so that
good fortune would follow throughout
the year.
At Easter let your clothes be new
or else be sure you will it rue.
