rabbit, which is the symbol for the moon, came
to be an Easter symbol Also
The more intimate association of the rabbit
and the egg is probably due to a pretty little
legend which comes from Germany 1t is as fol-
lows:
at a lovely day in early springtme and
Mrs. Rabbit was hurrying along the woodland
path, taking some wild flowers to sick wood
chuck friend Suddenly she came upon lot
of loose feathers in the path. She looked about
her and then discovered nest full of eggs
\ ".Oh, dear me- exclaimed Mrs. Bunny, "a
fox must have stolen the mother chicken. And
there are her eggs, getting chilled I'll just sit
on them to keep them warm So saying, she put
down her baskets and sat upon the nest.
Imagine Mrs. Rabbits surprise, when she
got up from the nest, the next morning and
found that family of chicks had Matched from
the eggs. Since their mother is gone presume
I shall have to take care of the poor little
things said the tender-hearted Mrs. Rabbit.
This she did. Ever since then the rabbit has been
associated with Easter and Easter eggs
In some parts of northern Germany the child
rem hang eggs trees similar to Christmas
trees and candy favors, gifts and all sorts of
Easter novelties are placed on the tree around
which the children gather, and sing happy songs
on Easter morning Peasants in other European
countries were accustomed to hang festoons of
eggs over the chimney piece and to hand them
down as heirlooms, fer they were regarded as
treasures to be kept and not as baubles to be
destroyed thrown away. 2
In England, under the old ecclesiastical laws,
rent was payable in Easter eggs games were
played with them Ga fact which probably
the forerunner of Easter "egg-rollings," such
as that observed each year the White House
lawn in Washington, especially by the children
in north England. Still another association of
the egg with Easter lay in the fact that it was
contrary to religious tenets to eat eggs during
Lent, but when Easter marked the end of that
period they were the first fieshly nourishment aft
er the fast to sanctify the body.
The custom of dyeing Easter eggs goes back
for many centuries. Peasants in the European
countries dyed them red, as a symbol of Christ's
blood, but the lords and ladies covered theirs
with gold leaf. Later more elaborate decora-
tons were used. Sometimes they bore cupids
and love knots flaming hearts and the signs
of the zodiac Sometimes they were halved and
the shells hinged together with ribbon and lined
with gilt paper and religious pictures Among
the venetians it was the custom to give friend
a gift egg bearing the giver's portrait, and
many other variations on egg decoration were
common in France, Spain and Belgium.

tian festival it has its parallels in paganism and
the symbolism of Easter shows curious mix
ture of the Christian and the pagan. To the
Christian conscious of the true meaning and
religious significance of Easter, it is a matter
for regret that many persons are seemingly
more familiar with the pagan symbols, which
have become associated with Easter incident
ally than they are with the true symbols of
that day. However, the association Of some of
these familiar Easter symbols, pagan though
they may have been in origin with Christian
festival, has certain inherent interest.
The association of the egg with Easter goes
back to certain beliefs of the ancents. Eggs
had been associated with the worship of Ash
toreth, of the Astarte Of the Phoenicians. Isis
of the Egyptians, Diana of the Greeks and Ro-
mans and Eostre whom the Teutons worshipped
in the spring. Incidentally, the name Easter
is said by some to be derived from the name
of this Teutonic goddess, although others as
sert that it was named for an old pagan spring
festival in honor of the suns new birth in the
east
The Egyptians regarded the egg as an emblem
of the recreation of things and of mans regen-
Grafton. Then, too. the egg with its life germ
destined to produce a living creature when
warmed by the mother hen is easily associated
with the idea of the earth poisoning forth
under the warm rays of the sun in the spring,
both closely akin to the general idea of resur-
rection.
Since the Resurrection of Christ occurred in
the spring, it is easy to see how the symbols
of the egg and all revived life in the spring
time came to be associated with this event in
the history of Christianity. The egg as a
symbol was taken over by the Hebrews as an
emblem of their delivery from bondage and next
the early Christians took it over as their symbol
of the Resurrection.
Of fho rohh har xv;fh
Easter has its foundations in the ancient belief
in European and Asiatic countries that the hare
is the symbol for the moon. The moon is the

ITH the possible exception of Christ
mas. there is no other red letter day
in our calendar which has associated
with it so many different symbols as
has Easter. Back of all these SYM
bols, Of course, is the one essential
fact that Easter day is the anniver-
sary of the resurrection Of Jesus, and
the spirit of Easter is the reassur-
ance that there is life after death,
that the soul of man is immortal.

All organizations aside from the

to assist in this testimonial to a
quarter Of century OF fighting for
the rights OF colored Americans
by naming committee to carry on
collection of the fund among their
members. The names and address
cs of these committee members
should be sent to Dean William

is in charge of the campaign. and
further literature and appeals will
bo sent.
This campaign aims not only TO
recognize the work done in the last
twenty years. but also TO start
the association off on the harder
and greater work of the incoming
quarter century, said Dean Pick
