Origin of ‘Easier’ Is Traced to Heathen Goddess, Ostara

And angels white rolled forth the stone Back from that cavern grave 'ml He arose to face the world Ihe world He'd diet! to save. The temple lay with wall in twain As Mary trembling wept Beside the rock-hevi n guarded grave Where He is bcai/ty slept. I lie angels said. “Why weepst thou?” n sorrow- at her i.iain, * One at the head arid one at the foot f th' grave wh#_-re Christ had lain. I hey re taken ttfy Lor< away," she cried.

I he Sunday on w hich the resurrection ••f Christ Is commemorated, known as ■as*vr, probably derived its name from A of a. goddess of the heathen Saxons, ’Atara, Osterr or Eastre. She was the porsoniflciition of the East; of the morning; of tire spring. The month of April '•as dedicated to her. and was called Easter moat h among the Saxons. Her worship lieciune pronounced In northern Germany arid was carried to English by the Saxons and still survives in some obscure customs in feasts to celebrate the return if spring. The came anil custom cause Christian people toi recognize the Easter festival as i successor to the Jewl h Passover, while •he waved Easter carries us back through the ••Vixons to very ancient celebrations 'vliicfi from the earliest ages of man have • xpcessed the universal outburst of reioiij Mg over the reawakening of nnturc, inter the long sleep of winter. ’ V'TER IDENTICAL I Til PASSOVER. n the early Christian chur< hes Easter ns identical in date with ptsssover, but ’* e opposition of the Christians to the •iiws led to a change. History relates cAnt this opposition was most acute about I). 325. After much confusion and zeal■ous rather than Intelligent opposition bevccii thii Jew sand the Christians, an artificial Otiy w as chosen which occasionally fell, as in ISO’, and 1825. a ta time that was “Unsatisfactory to both factions, and in JtsiS the wrong day was kept. U. was at first determined that Easter m/ist fall on the first Sunday after the f' 'iirteenth day of the moon that happens 'to lie reigning at the time of the vernal equinox. Then it was declared that the date of the equinox should be arbitrarily made 1 March 21, although it really comes sometimes earlier or later. If the equinox moon is fourten days old mi March Easter Sunday falls on March 22. -ich is its earliest - possible date, or it may be as late as April 25. In 1761 and ISIS Easter came on March 22; in 1845. isoli and 1913. It fell on Starch 23. In 188*5 Easter was celebrated on April 25, and that will happen again in J 943. Originally Easter was a sort of Thanksgiving service lasting right days—in conformity *to the length of Pagau spring festivities and Jewish Passovers. Christians cut the eignt days to three days, Friday. Saturday and Sunday, then later to two days and tinally to one day in •-ommemoration of the Resurrection morn. CELEBRATION IS ESTABLISHED. The celebration of Easter in the United States is now an established practice. New England was the last section to adopt it, liecause her Puritan settlers looked with abhorrence upon it. Virginia and Louisiana hare always kept Easter and so have the Catholics and Lutherans. After the Civil War polite society kept Lent In preparation for Easter. In the early church Lent was a season in which the faithful begged God's mercies for themselves and they in turn, were supposed to be merciful towurd others. Good Friday also was kept as a ilcj of strict fasting and humiliation. n *533 A. D. all people fasting only until 3 p. m., were rebuked and were not i -emitted to participate in the Paschal * ommunion. Very elaborate Easter festivities have gradually lessened or become more marked in many centuries. 11l the Roman Church the clergy wear “lack, the altar is stripped and the candles are not lighted. After a short pause tlie altar is overeil with white, selections from the Old and New Testament are read and prayers recited. Mass must be consecrated on Holy Thursday, the day before Good Friday, a special feature being the Adoration of the Cross. After mass the crucifixion is divested of its ack and is kissed by the clergy and the people while four hymns are sung. Tn the Latin countries this adoration •f the cross is a very elaborate ceremony, A huge crucifixion or wax image of Christ rests on a cushion on the floor for all' to kiss. In many places the image supposed to represent the Christ is buried with solemn rites in the Easter sepulchre, there to remain untii the dawn of Easter Sunday, when It is returned to the church. In Rome the Eucharistic body of Christ is blessed on Holy Thursday and borne

INJURIES ARE SERIOUS WHEN AUTOS CRASH Man and Woman Severely Hurt in Downtown Accident. Two automobiles were badly damaged and two ocetipanL-i severely injured in a wreck at New York and Alabama streets today. Emmett Stanton. 1015 West New York street, driver of one of the vehicles, suffered so bad a cut on his left hand he was taken to the city hospital in an ambulance. Mrs. Oscar Voorhees, (M 2 East Thirty-Fourth street, passenger In the other car, was injured about the back. She was taken home In another motor. Stanton was driving east In New Y'ork street when he crashed Into the side of a Ford sedan driven north In Alabama street by Mrs. Cuv Yoorhees, 3449 Broadway. Frank Miller, 19, 1438 West Twen-ty-Thidd street, riding with Stanton; Mrs. Yoorhees and Edwin White, 640 East Thirty-Fourth street, passengers in her car, were uninjured. Detective William Rugenstein investi gated. No arrests were made. Three Boys Killed While Taking Nap on Railroad Track FT.

in a silver monstrance by the Pope end the Cardinals in procession from the Sistine chapel Into that of St. Paul. There it is deposited in a glittering shrine of crystal which appears bathed In light, while the rest of the chapel is dark. Munich and Vienna huve the most elaborate ceremony in Europe. The image of Christ is placed on a >ler covered with a white veil and borne in procession around the interior of *he church, the parade iu formal with the choristers in white, first, then the priests iu black and white, with the bier borne iu the center, a long train of men, then a train of women bearing lighted candles. The effigy is laid iu the sepulcher, which is an Imitation cave under the opening, a row of tiny lamps, similar to foot lights, burn across the front behind ornamental colored globes. Figures of angels in fluttering robes of pink and white, with pink cheeks and yellow hair crown the mountaiu top. Priests chant prayers, while fitful, plaintive moans of music fall upon the ears of the thousands who celebrate. In Florence, Italy, a dead Christ procession triennlally celebrates the Eastertide. A military bnnd with muffled drums leads the parade, and plays a heart-breaking funeral march. A little girl with yellow hair and white wings, followed by old men in sack cloth, precede the priests who bear a life size form in imitation of the Dead Jesus, while all the people fall upon, their knees. VIRGIN MARY WEARS MOURNING. The Virgin Mary dressed in deep mourning and carrying a lace handkerchief to her eyes immediately folowg. and next in turn comes Mary with streaming hair carrying an alabaster box. Similar celebrations occur In the churches and communities over Russia and Greece. In some parts of Eng'and, Easter Morning is ushered In with the cry of “Hot Cross Buns One a penny Buns Two a penny Buns One a penny Two a penny Hot Cross Buns.” Two hundred fifty thousands have been sold in a city on an Easter day. The custom is still kept in many places, and in fact East Washing!an street In this city is displaying the advertisement now. In some places a small loaf of bread is baked on good Friday, kept a year then grated and used for medicinal purposes, great vaiue being attached to its curative qualities. Chopping the block at Oxford College was long a noted celebration —a wooden pole decorated with flowers and evergreens was placed outside the door, the cook and his attendant stood at either end dresed in white paper Jackets and caps, each bearing a pewter dish. Faculty and pupils passed, chopped, paid so much a lick, while he who hit the lick that finished severing the pole, laid claim to the college estate. SENORAS WEAR FUNERAL GARB. In Spain the senoras appear on the streets in funeral garb, all in black even to cuff and collar buttons, while the most fashionable ladies, attired in rich funeral garb, sit inside *he church door? and beg for charity.

Sim Flinders was seen sitting on the front porch this morning with his fin gers iu both ears. It is believed be was having a one-sided argument with his wife. • * • Slim Pickens has united with the Excelsior Fiddling Band, and was sworn in last Saturday night. Slim cannot play anything at all, but by making him pad out his clothes he can be used to fill the gap caused by the recent, resignation of a member. Before leaving home this morning his wife placed a lot of hen eggs in Sim Flinders' pockets, so he could not sit down anywhere.

In Portugal, Judas Iscariot is hanged or burned in effigy. In Palermo, Sicily, the penitents are masked with a hood, with two holes for eyes, crowned with a garland of thorns, and we.'iring a rope noose around the neck, which is tied to their clasped hands, while they march through the streets marshaled by priests and monks. In some parts of Latin-America, an escort of troops accompanies a wax figure of the Savior with gaping bleeding wounds, borne upon a pedestal carried on the heads of men who are covered with w hite curtains. A life-size figure of Mary Magdalene borne on the heads of four priests, close to the image of the Savior, who upon seemii.g recognition and a quick turn of the men goes dashing down the street with her long yellow hair fluttering iu the breeze. She meets the image of the Virgin Mary who tells her of the resurrection Mary then advances in front of Mary Magdalene and they approach the image of the Savior, how to each other several times and then return together to the church. In Tlflle, hushed solemn crowds await the midnight hour, which a sky rocket announces, then the people rush and seethe to and fro and light candles one from another ail crying “Christ Is Risen, ( hrist is Risen.” GERMANY GOES EGG HUNTING. Germuny celebrates with the hunt of the white hare and many colored egs. Germany deems the White Hare significant because of its correspondence to the moon. It carries its young thirty days which means a lunar month. The White Hare is alio born with both eyes open and feeds at night, which again seems allied with lunar qualities. The German mothers tie eggs in highly colored prints and boil for several minutes, then remove the covering and have vari colored eggs for tlie children's Easter joys. Easter eggs, rabbits and new togs mark the American celebration. Easter eggs, the oldest of real American Easter festivities may have come from the Egyptians, Gauls. Greeks, Persians, or Romans. among all of whom the egg was an emblem of the universe, the work of Supreme Divinity- dormant life resurrected from a seated tomb appeals In a modest way to Christian Americans. It was the Idea of the early chun-h to give a Caristluu significance to sm-h of the extant Pagan ceremonies ns could not be rooted out. In the case of Easter, people w-re educated in a few generations to be Joyous at the return of spring from the death of winter and this became significant of the Joy of the Resurrection of the Savior from the tomb. NO TIME FOR WEEPING. People quit crying and become joyous, even hilarious, at Easter time, and tnad merry with dances and entertainment’,. It hrame a favorite day for baptisms, courts were closed, alms were given, slaves were freed. In England the monks and clergy pla and ball and were given tansy cakes as prizes. Until 1708 the people of England believed the sun dances danced at Eastertime and the girls of Devonshire were famed for arising early on Sunday morning to see a lamb and a flag In the sun,

which was considered an omen of good luck. Superstition still lives in America to the extent that it is an ill wind that blows from the East Easter Sunday, or if it rains it will rain for seven Sundays, and in all probability a little rain will each day in the year. Despite the beliefs and customs of the generations who sleep, or live In foreign lands, we Americans are faithful in our belief that our Christ was crucified, lain in a tomb and arose on the third day, which v>e, as a Nation, keep holy as the first day of the week and acknowledge Easter Sunday, through custom, as Resurrection day.
