Easter Is Symbol of Easter, the principal ecclesi astical event of the year, gets its name from Eostre, a Teuton ic goddess, whose festival was celebrated in the Spring. Her name was given to the Christian festival, as it was she, according to legend, who open ed the portals of Valhalla to re ceive the White God and the Sun God, representing purity and light. The history of Easter, which is a symbol of the Resurrection to us, is intertwined with many religious customs and observan ces dating back hundreds of years and before the time of Jesus Christ. However, Christians have ut ilized various customs and tra ditions to create and color this observance in the real spirit of Jesus' rebirth.

The Easter egg, though, had dated back to the Egyptians and Persians, and also the Greeks and Romans, who ate eggs an nually in their Spring festivals. Eggs have long since been con nected with new life, as was the rabbit, a most prolific animal, and the rabbit was eventually to be used, in children's tales, as another emblem of fertility or new life. Jesus arose from the dead on the first day of the week, and Gentile Christians have held ever since that Easter should be observed on Sunday. Jewish Christians for many years observed the day on the date of the Passover regardless of whether it was Sunday or not. In any event, it is approp riate that Easter comes in the Spring, when the renewal of life is so apparent about us all. ), Hasfteir jVvjJ- ester, three-tone 4 i&V-i nJT Women or Children WHITE STRETCH Gloves To enhance your Easter wardrobe beaded or em broideried effects!
