He has aurrounded himself with many legends that date back Into the pagan era, long before the birth of Christ, yel Easter eggs are supposed to symimllte the Resur re<-flon and the rebirth of nuture. As one ranges back through history and triHlItlon the conneetbm of the rabbit with Raster becomes more iii.vs terlous. Here Is one story, there Is an other. They seem at counterpoint, aritl one may t<*y with the dlfTerent legends as he cluMtses.

Hence the hare became eonnectad in the popular mind with tbe paschal eggs broken to aignlfjk the opening of tbe year.” Sterling Helig tracea the colored agg far beyond the rcanrrectlon of the Savior, going badi to pagan daya when a glided egg waa a aymboi of good . tuck to a pagan monarch. Whether laid by hen or bare, a glided egg—ae BMtter who the magician that gilded It—was algniflcant of good lack If It appeared at a ruler’s table when troo- blous days were upon the monarch.
