EASTER AND THE ORI
GIN OF EASTER EGGS.
Few people know that the assp
ciation of eggs with the Easter
season, like many other customs
among Christians, is of pagan ori
gin, and began far back in the
mists of antiquivy, when a—upgrar,i
tion raled. v
Between two and three thousund
years ago, the Egyptiaus regarded
the egg as an emblem of racrea
tion, or of the renovation of the
human race after the deluge. This
idea originated 'with them from
studying the habits of the scarab,
or sacred beetle, which baried its
ball in the grave dug for itself,
Not knowing that ,the ball cou
tained an egg, When the yoang
‘beetle was hatched, supposing it
to be the one they saw disappear‘
in the earth, they concluded that’
lit had again returned to life. 'Thus
!arose the hope of resurrection of
‘their mummified bodies,and when
‘thay later found that the buried
ball contained an egg, the egg
became a symbol of’resurrection.
The ancient Persians had a leg
end that the universe was hatch-%
ed from an egg at the time of the
vernal equinox, and among the
Persian magi, or priests, the egg
represented re-creation In ac
cordance with this tradition, the
Persian New Year began at the
vernal equinox, at which time it
was the custom for the people
to present each other with eggs
tinted red, yellow or skv-blue.
In Germany the Easter egg
plays a pars in a story told chila
ren to the effect that, if they are
good, a,white hare will creep into
the house on Easter eve and hide
a number of heautiful eggs for
them in odd places. The familiar
sight in American windows of
rabbits wheeling loads of eggs
originated in the German myth,
the rabbit replacing the hares be
cause of the scarcitv of the latter
in this county.
Some Christians of the present
time, knowing nothing of early
tradition, suppose that the use of
eges at Easver originated with the
Catholics who, returning at the
close of the Lenten season to their
favorite food, expressed vheir joy
by decorating the eggs. The
truth is that when the early
Christians began to observe the
resurrection of Christ they pre
served the old association of eggs
with the equinoetial season and
the idea of resurrection. At first,
the only color used was red, signi
fying the blood shed by Christ,
but, by degress, this idea was
lost, many colors were used. and,
in time, the connection between
Easter eggs and the resurrection
was forgotten. Ex.
