Easter Story
and Customs of
the Long Ages
Interesting Facts as to the Origin
and Manner of Observing the
Day Over the World.
Easter
Date varies yearly as it is the first
Sunday after the first full moon on
or after the 21st day of March. If
the full moon should fall on Sunday,
Easter is tha following Sunday.
At first Easter was calculated by
the first Sunday after the 14th day
of the moon that happened to be
reigning at the time of the vernal
equinox. So difficult was this calcu
lation that it led to occasional mis
takes, as that of the year 1818, when
Easter was kept on the wrong day.
A long series of ecclesiastical dates
from Ash Wednesday to Trinity Sun
day and the Sundays after Trinity
p.re contingent upon the date set for
Easter. It may come as early as
March 22 or as late as April 25.
In England the day is fixed by j
statutes.
Christian Easter
The oldest of the Christian festi
vals, observance began in the apos
tolic age. ommemorates the resur
rection of Jesus Christ. But long be
fore the beginning of Christian re
ligion there had been an Easter to
mark the return of spring, the annual
resurrection of nature. The name
comes from Eastre, the goddess of
Spring.

Arabian Easter
Known as "Nebi Musa" .vhich is
Arabic for "Thophet Moses." It is
of comparatively recent origin and
is political rather than religious in
aspect. It was started by the Sultan
Saladin about the time of the Cru
sades, because he felt that too many
Christians were coming to Jerualem
for Easter who might outnumber the
Moslems, so he instituted this festi
val to coincide with the othodox
Easter. Easter day largo numbers of
Hebronite Arabs make their way
around the outside of the city walls
of Jerusalem, dancing and whining
a weird chant, accompanied by the
beating of torn toms and clapping of
hands in a measured beat, their lead
er performing gyrations with a huge
curved sword. The banners carried
in the procession are blessed and
brought from Mecca each year, and
they are blessed again by the Mufti
on the top of the Mount of Olives,
after which the parade moves on.
Now for the first tims the flutss
break into a melancholy wailing and
the dancing dervishes revolve and re
volve. This performance lasts about
twenty minutes and is repeated at
frequent intervals. The whole pil
grimage is made on foot and lasts
about three days, during which time
the pilgrams do not partake of food.
When Jericho is reached they place
the blessed banners on the supposed
grave of Moses, in spite of the fact
that the exact whereabouts of the
burial place of Moses is disclaimed
in the Bible. (Deut. 34 :C).
Tradition
An old German legend is that a
white hare steals into the house tha
night before Easter and hides the
beautiful vari-colored eggs for good
little children. In America the haro
is called a rabbit, and little children
maks nests in which the rabbit may
deposit the eggs.
Just why the white rabbit is con
nected with this custom is of inter
est. The rabbit is nocturnal in habit, j
coming out at night. The female car- j
rie3 its young for one month, thus j
representing the lunar month.
Another legend is that when the
moon is full there is a dark patch
which resembles a rabbit. But the
rabbit did not always live in the
moon. He was once a little earth
rabbit who lived in India. One day
a duck, a fox, and a monkey and this
little rabbit decided to retire to the
wilderness together and lead a relig
ious life. So the four journeyed forth,
but before they separated each took
a vow to kill no living thing.
After the animals had been in the
wilderness for some time the God
Buddha decided he would try their
faith and see how truly religioui they
were. So Buddha came down to
earth, took the dress and form of a
religious pilgrim and went to beg
alms of each.
First he came to the monkey, and
he said: "Friend. I have journeyed
far without food, I pray you, give me
some refreshment, that I faint not by
the way."
"Gladly," said the monkey, and
he climbed into the nearest trees and
picked fruit which he brought down
and set before the weary traveler.
Next the pilgrim went to the duck
and said to him: "Friend, I have
journeyed far, and am in need of
food. I pray you, help me that I
faint not by the way."
And the duck said: "I have noth
ing here, but as I came along the
river bank I remember seeing a string
of fish, forgotten by come fisherman.
I will fetch them." .
The pilgrim ate and was refresh3d
and went on his way till he came to
the home of the fox. Here the pil
grim made the same request. The fox
had nothing to serve him, but went
out to look for something. Before
he had gone many steps he came up
on a pot of milk and some dried meat,
which had been left on the plain by
some herdsmen. With these he re
turned to the pilgrim and gave him
a very good meal.
Then the pilgrim presented him-;

self, tired and hungry, before the
rabbit and asked for refreshment.
But the rabbit could only say:
"Friend, I eat nothing but grass, and
I fear that will be of no use to you."
"To help those who are in need
and to offer hospitality are two of
the duties of the hermit," replied
tha pilgrim.
"Yes," said the rabbit sadly, "but
I have made a vow to kill no living
thing. What can I do"
"If you are a truly religious her
mit, you can give your own flesh, for
to give yourself for another's need
is the highest sign of the holy life."
"That I will do willingly," replied
the rabbit.
So the pilgrim built a little fire
beside a rock, and the rabbit prepared
to jump from the rock down into the
fire, to be roasted for the tired pil
grim. As he jumped, but before he
touched the fire, it was put out.
Buddha took again hi3 rightful form
as a god and caught the rabbit in his
arms and tock him to the moon, so
that every living creature in every
'part of the other worlds might fee
him and remember the kindly ueui 01
the little rabbit.
Customs
Rolling eggs at Easter is probably
an importation from Germany where
egg rolling begins at midnight on
Easter-eve. Tracks mada of slicks
laid side by side are used by German
children. They roll little cakes and
apples.
The use cf eggs at Easter time is
prebbaly the result of a custom of
greatest antiquity, the egg having
been considered in widely separated
pre-Christian mythologis as the sym
bol of resurrection. It is probable
that the hristian church adopted and
consecrated this -early custom.
The custom of eating a gammon of
bacon still exists in certain parts of
England, and according to Aubrey
(1.G79), was established by the peo
ple: "to show their abhorrence u
Judaism at that solemn commemor
ation of our Lord's resurrection.
