World Book Encyclopedia s religion editor, Mrs. Francine Klagsbrun, reports that eggs represent the new life that be gins In the spring about Easter time. The ancient Persians be lieved that the earth had hatch ed, from, a giant egg. Persians and Egyptians used to exchange colored eggs with their friends. Early Christians adapted the custom of coloring eggs to Eas ter. Some legends credit the Easter bunny with bringing the eggs. The rabbit, too, is an old symbol of birth and new life. Moreover. the rabbit, or the hare, has long, been associated with the moon. It may have become an Easter symbol because the moon determines the date of the holi day. - Lighting candles at Easter was a custom in Rome back in the 200's. One Church father declar ed that "on the night of the resurrection no one should sleep and everyone should have a light, for on that night the Re deemer made everyone free from the darkness -of sin and the grave." The large paschal candle used in Roman Catholic services represents Christ risen from the dead as the light of the world. It is blessed and stud- CUvd Mrs. Wilson Howe :5i. ,THE PLATTSMOUTH.

This symbol comes from the Jewish Pesah, or Pass over, celebration. The Jews used to sacrifice a paschal lamb in the Temple at Jerusalem during Passover. Early Christians saw in this sacrifice a forecast of the sacrifice of Christ. They re ferred to Him as "the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world" (John 1:29). The most universal symbol of Easter, and of Christianity it self, Is, of course, the cross. Many ancient peoples, such as the Phoenicians, Assyrians ana Persians, considered the cross a religious object. To some Am erican Indians it is said to have been a mystic symbol of the four cardinal points of the com pass. At the time of Christ, however, it was representative of the most shameful and cruel form of execution.
