Something of the Origin 0f\ the An- oifltt “Fleet of Ens" Ceremny Easter Sunday, in Norwalk, wasn't such a fizzle after all, New gowns and hats.

Special musical nmgrams in all the chumhea of illicit! yesterday charm ed the throngs in attendance. interest- ing addresses, homing on the Resuru rection, were made by the pastors of the various churches. Easter is the annual festival observ- ed throughout Christendom in com- memoration of the,-Resurrection 73f Christ, one of the important and in- teresting facts of the New Testament. Easter Day. or Deter Sunday. is thought to have derived its Teutonic name. Ostern, from the feast of the Goddess 0stara, or Eastre, the per- sonification of the morning, or the East. and also of the Opening Year. The feast was celebrated by the ancient Saxons in the spring, and for it the Fathers of the Church, as they are'celled. substituted the Christian festival. ' The most characteristic Easter rite, and the most widely diffused. is the use of Pasch eggs. They are usually stained of various colors with dye- woods or herbs, and people mutually make presents of them. The practice is not confined to Christians: the Jews used one in the feast of the Passover, andthe Persians. when they ’prapd. the festioal of the.” year, in blagcb, milks presents er olored eggs. -‘ There can be little doubt that the use of the eggs at this season, East- er. was ”originally aymbolical of the revivailcetion of nature—the spring- ing forth of life in spring. ..... From the Christian point of view, this “Fee“ of Eggs is usually consid- ered emblematic of the resurrection ' some Job to get rid of the piling drifts: and of a future life. The several inches. of snow yesteo‘ day melted rapidly. and this afternoon there is but little remaining.
