Sunday »s Easter, the cel-
ebration of one of the most sacred
days and events in the history of
Christianity.
This is the day set aside
that Christians of all Denomina-
tions remember the resurrection
of Jesus Christ from the grave.
There area lot of symbols
and legends associated with Eas-
ter with a number of them having
to do with a new season of rebirth.
Some of these, like me, you may
have heard of years ago. But as I
did some research, 1 found a few
that I didn't know.
The most popular and rec-
ognized symbol used to represent
Easter is the cross. This symbol
signifies that Christ died for all
mankind. In fact, the Castilian
donkey ridden by Christ in his
triumphal entry into Jerusalem is
another of the symbols. Accord-
ing to legend, this donkey will
always bear the cross on its body.
We get the name Easter
from the goddess Easter, who ac-
cording to Venerable Bede, an
English historian who lived from
672 to 735 A.D., was worshiped
by the Anglo-Saxons through her
earthly symbol, the hare or rabbit.
Another legend about the rabbit
or hare is that it was considered a
symbol of fertility and represented
the rebirth of life associated with
spring. The Orientals consider the
hare a symbol of the moon and
since the moon determines the
date of Easter, the rabbit is a sym-
bol of this holiday.
Around Town - Cleveland on the Grow
Going a little deeper into
the relationship of the rabbit to
Easter, let's turn to the colorful
eggs and how the rabbit became
associated with them.
The Germans tell of the
Easter Bunny bringing colored
eggs on Easter morning. Their
story is that of a poor woman long
ago who dyed a few eggs and hid
them in a nest for Easter gifts for
her children. As the legend goes,
j ust as the ch i Idren d iscovered the
eggs, a large rabbit hopped away.
Well this story grew until it be-
came widely believed that the
Easter Bunny brought colored
eggs on Easter morning.
Birds also have a place in
the traditional Easter symbols. It
is said that the robin plucked a
thorn from the forehead of Christ
as he hung from the cross. In
doing so, the robin stained it's
breast red from the blood of Christ
and since then all robins have
been red-breasted. The swallow
is said to have called to Christ on
the day of his crucifixion, "Cheer
up, cheer up." Thus, the swallow
is known as the bird of consola-
tion.
Here's a new one for me.
Ancient people believed that lion
cubs were bom dead and that when
the cubs are three days old, the
lioness breaths life into them.
Thus, the lion symbolizes that
Christ lay dead three days in the
tomb and then lived again.
Three comes into play
also with the butterfly as symbol
of Easter. Stage one, the caterpi I-
lar represents life. The cocoon,
the second stage, represents death
and the third and final stage is the
emergence of a butterfly repre-
senting the Resurrection.
Even the whale is a sym-
bol of Easter. Again, with the
number three in that Jonah lived
in the belly of the whale for three
days and then was cast on dry
land, all being prophetic of Jesus
coming forth into the light of the
land after three days.
The Easter Lily is recog-
nized as a sign of purity and light
and the dogwood legend is that
its wood was used for the crosses
and that the sign of the cross is
seen even today in its flowers.
And egg rolling is an
Easter custom in several coun-
tries. The most famous is the one
held on the White House lawn in
Washington, D.C. where Presi-
dent Hayes started the custom
back in 1878.
And probably the most
recognized Easter custom is the
wearing of new clothes on Eas-
ter.
Oh, by the way, the first
NiceneCouncil in A.D. 325 fixed
Easter on the first Sunday after
the first full moon on or after
March 22, with the latest being
April 25.
So with that in mind,
looking ahe&d, Easter will be
April 12, 1998; April 4, 1999;
and April 23, 2000.
