Do you know th derlm. tlon of the word "Eatr"t The most anclfnt tribes of whit there Is any record celebrated the beginning of spring, and they colored, eggs to express their joy in their celebrations. The way the earliest historical records refer to the custom of coloring eggs gives us good reason for believing that the custom was known before the times of recorded history. Primitive peoples believed that the egg wa a symbol of the world, and they colored It to add a touch of gayety to their spring festivals, irons, the earliest sacred writings of tha East there are references to eggs coU ored by the Persians some time be. tween B.ooo and 10.000 years before; Christ. One of the first great rellgl. c-'j leaders of Humanity was Zoroas ter, a Persian, who lived so long ago that no one knows his enact blrta date. He taught his disciples that there are two gods fighting eacU other for possession of the world. H took the egg as a symbol of the world because the common people had- al. ready accepted It. The Persians of old, like many other pagan peoplea, set aside a number of days In tha early spring as publlo holidays for great spring festivals. They saw tha days lengthening, noticed tha warmth of the sun Increasing, and. knew at that season of the year tha earth began to yield their crops. Therefore, they called the sprinj equinoa their New Year. They ex. pressed their joy In music, and laughter, and singing, and the taised brightly colored eggs In tha) air and gave them to each other as) gifts, meaning "Happy New Tear.'' Suoh spring New Year festivals vera common to the Assyrians. Babylon, lans. Egyptians. Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans and many others. The colored egg has been traced ta Abraham, and the tradition cam down from the Chaldeans to tha Israelites. The Chaldeans had a divinity of spring called Istar, and scholars have told us that the wore "Easter" cornea from her name. Thlg same goddess Is referred to In tha Bible as As ta roth of the Phoenicians, Ancient carvings on atone represent. Istar aa holding In her hand an egg. still the symbol of tha world, with aa "Istar" rabbit crouching at her feet, as tha emblem of fertility, for she was also the goddess of the principle of reproduction. Under the name oi Ashtax she hat been found on Assyro lan monuments .and was known to the Babylonians as the queen at heaven. Maybe that Is why the rabbit la associated with Easter and Is how ha got Into the story, but hundreds of years ago children In a small pro. vlnce tn Germany, when they found their beautiful colored eggs on Easter morning, exclslmed, "No fowl ever laid such pretty eggs; the little whlta hare laid them." But centuries be fore thtt the Egyptians had their own Idea of the hare. They believed that the nervous little animal was tn tome way connected with the moon. Because It frequently seeks Its food by night, and because the little baby bunnies are bom with their eyea open, unlike other animals, tha Egyptians were sure of the relation with tha moon. They called tha moon the open-eyed watcher of tha night skies, and In that they saw a likeness to the baby rabbits. This thought was further confirmed by the Egyptian superstition that tha new moon is masculine and the wan. Ing moon femlnme and the fact that the hare was believed to have tha power of changing Its sea. Tha Egyptian word for hare was "un. meaning open, to open, the opener and so the hare was part of tha festivals celebrating the opening of the new year. With Christianity spread through out the Western world, the early Christians avoided as many obstacles as they could In their efforts to con. vert the pagans. They said, In effect, to those they hoped to persuade, "Your spring festivals are right; we, too, rejoice In the early spring. Let us combine In this Joy over tha Resurrection of Christ. It Is quits right for you to think of the egs as a sign of the world; see how out of such a lifeless looking thing cornea life In the form of the newly hatched chick; so out of the cold rock tomo oame the risen Lord. It Is right for you to cfj?r your eggs bright red; red Is the color of blood and can now mean to you. aa It does to ua the blood shed on the cross for the redemption of all mankind." Tha early Christians were good salesmen, or politicians, or what you will. At least they were tactful enough to agree to allow harmless customs and Innocent festivities. For that reason the coloring of eggs, like many other pagan customs, has come down to us from the earliest times, but with a Christian significance. TT 2L Creik.
