"Easter, anciently termed the "Festival of Flowers," is the sacred festival of Spring coupled with the anniversary of the resurrection of Christ. The name Easter came, orginally, from Eastre, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring, who was also -worshipped as a personification of the East, where sunrise appears bringing in the new day. It was thought that spring vegetation of every form was subject to her will. In some localities the festival is us'hered in at daybreak by trumpets from the church towers; in other places, pealing bells ring out the triumphant message of good cheer. According to one old fable, an exceedingly beautiful snow white hare slipped into houses after midnight at this time and left numerous colored eggs about. The egg, always typical of new birth and creation, was used by our forefathers to represent the revival of life. It became immediately connected with the rebirth, or resurrection of Christ, and the two (the hare and the egg) became, quite as a matter of course, twin Easter symbols. The earliest eggs were always colored red, symbolizing the blood of Christ. In our country the giving of eggs is confined mostly to children, but in some of the other countries it has come to mean the giving of beautiful and very expensive gifts. Slav women are particularly noted for decorating the eggs. They do it more beautifully than the women of any other nation, although French eggs are wonderfully clever and beautiful, being sometimes composed of expensive materials, such as silver or motner-of-pearl, and often holding gifts of jewelry or money. In our country the lily is symbolic of Easter, and churches, at this period, are largely adorned with it. A great deal of superstition was formerly attaehed to the weather on this day. If the sun shone on Easter morning, it was claimed it would shine a little, at least, dui·ing every day throughout the year: Easter always comes on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the twenty-first of Marc.h. In addition to its spiritual significance Easter is the time, by general consent, when Mistress Fashion makes her bow to the world. WEST JORDAN Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dimond, Mr. and Mrs. E. M.
