INTERESTING
FACTS
By Tom Plaxico
Here are some interesting facts about Easter
Did you ever wonder why Easter is called Easter?
Where does the name come from? Few people
know that Easter is named after the old Anglo-
Saxon goddess of spring whose name was Eastra.
Do you know what is the earliest date, and
the latest date, on which Easter can fall? The
earliest Easter can ever be is March 22 and the lat
est it can ever be is April 26. The date for Easter
is the (first Sunday after the first full moon after
the 21st of March.
The first Easter Parade in the United States
was held—not in New York as many believe—but
in Atlantic City, N. J., in 1876.

And here’s another interesing fact. . .
This year, in addition to buying that new
Spring bonnet, we suggest you look at one of our
new Cheyroleta. Hiejr will lead the Easter Pa,
