Tradition Links
Easter Bunny
With New Moon

Tradition abounds in the popular
American customs that surround
Easter eggs and Dummies" fa-
miliar to every child who has been
taught the occasions significance.
The connection between Easter
and the rabbit is said to come from
the fact that the hare is a symbol
for the moon, which determines the
date Of Easter. In Egyptian, the
name Of the hare also means ''to
OPEN" hence the association of the
hare with the opening of new life at
spring festivals
The egg is an obvious symbol of
the spring awakening. The bright
colors of painted eggs symbolic
hues Of the Easter sun and the JOY
which follows the whiteness of win
ter. In Germany, where both Eas-
ter rabbits and eggs originated,
children are told that if they are
good a white hare will steal down
the chimney and hide brightly-col-
ored eggs in the house. In many
foreign places the Easter hare is
as important figure as Santa Claus
at Christmas.
II young men in some English
villages can catch a hare and pre-
sent it to the parson before 10 a. m.
On Easter Monday, the rector is
bound by an old law to give them
100 eggs, a calf's head and groat.
Egg rolling on the White House
lawn, a popular Easter custom at
Washington, began soon after the
close of the Civil war. Originally
the annual affair took place on the
Capitol terrace. When authorities
complained that children were
harming the turf, President Hayes
and his wife invited youngsters to
do their egg-rolling on the White
House lawn. The event has been
annual ever since.

Pigrinages
Determined
Easter Date

Easter was originally dated to
suit the convenience of pilgrims who
needed moonlight in their annual
tricks to Resurrection festivities.
Footsore and weary, they plodded
both day and night to reach sacred
shrines for this observance. Hence
1t was decided that Easter shall
fall on the Sunday following the
first Paschal full moon after March
Il. The occasion may therefore vary
over period Of IS days--from
March % to April 25.
Lent, great period of fasting in
Christian churches, grew from a
4o-hour to a 40-day ritual as it
came down through the ages. While
m O st Christians commemorate
Good Friday as the day of the Cruel
hxion, Mohamm edans also celebrate
1t as the day of Adams creation.
Among ancient Germans, this date
was sacred to the goddess-mother,
wife of Odin.
The association of Easter Sunday
with the arrival of spring arises
from 4 coincidence. The day oc-
ours almost simultaneously with the
ancient heather Roman celebration
OF the yernal equinox.
Many customs have grown up
around the Easter observance. In |
England, figs are always eaten on |
Palm Sunday to commemorate Zac- |
cheus, the publican, who being ''lit-
tie OF stature" climbed into a tree |
to see Jesus pass by the way
Jericho.
Easter eggs and Dummies" are
traditions among American children
at this season OF the year. In Ger
many, spring lambs are sold for
the Easter feast.
