There is for mankind the glori ous announcement. “He is risen!” bringing agam the realization that the one great sacrifice has brought about the triumph of eternal life over death. We remember that Christ allowed himself to be cruci fied that man might earn the glory of immortality. Easter marks the turning point for nature, when the whole coun tryside seems to respond and echo with the words “I am the Resur rection.” We mav see then a great kinship between two of God’s crea tions: nature and the soul of man. As man may grasp immortality with his dying breath, so Is it true that nothing in nature is ever com pletely destroyed With Easter comes flowers to adorn the fields, but lately heavily laden with snow. Leafless trees come alive with brignt green branches, dull bark is scon hidden beneath bright spray* if greenery and pink whit# blossom.-- „ As lif# on this planet once began In a garden, so does the world again each Easter season. How Bunny Became A Symbol of Easter How did the bunny rabbit be come associated with Easter? Tbe rabbit or hare is a symbol of the moon and since th# date of Easter is governed by the moon, it is, in a sense a lunar holiday. The bunny came into th# Easter picture, it is said, becaua# of th# fact that young rabbits ar# born with their eyes open and, accord ing to an old superstition, the har#, which has nocturnal habits, always kept its eyes open. Hence, it be came identified with the full moon. Too, the Egyptian word for hare was “un" which also means “to open.” or the "opener.” As open er of the new year at Easter tim# —spring being the time when moat '■relation is young or new—th# hare became associated with th# '"3. symbol or resurrection, as as Easter symbols. Easter Is Principal Christian Festival Easter Is the chief festival of th# Christian year, commemorating the Resurrection of Christ. As far back as the second cen tury a.d. Christiana in Asia Minor observed Easter day on the 14th of Nisan, the aeventh month of th# Jewish calendar, while Christians in Europe observed th# nearest Sunday. While early Christians were ob serving Easter, usually about th# same time of year the Romans were also celebrating the Vernal Equinox or the arrival of Spring. Lent, Now 40 Days, Once Was 40 Hours Lent is the great period of fast ing in Christian churches and be gins on Ash Wednesday, which comes 40 days previous to Easter, not counting Sundays. Originally, lent wais but a period of 40 hours, but later was length ened to a period of 36 days, omit ting all Sundays and all Saturdays except one. It was brought to the present 40 days when Pope Gregory added Ash Wednesday to the fast, to gether with th# remainder of that week. The flrat formal recording of a lenten fast is in the fifth canon of the Council of Nicaes in 325. ✓ TULIPS FOR DECORATION When tulips are used as a dec oration for the table, drop a tiny bit of wax in the calyx of each floker.
