TODAY'S MYSTERY QUOTE

Fling off thy sadness!

Your ancient gladness!"
HINT: (1916-1977), British poet.

RANDOM TIDBITS
Easter derives its name from Eostre, an Anglo-Saxon goddess
of spring. A month corresponding to April had been named
"Eostremonat," or Eostre's month, leading to "Easter"
becoming applied to the Christian holiday that usually took
place within it.
***
In Medieval Europe, eggs were forbidden during Lent. Eggs
laid during that time were often boiled or otherwise
preserved. Eggs were thus a mainstay of Easter meals, and
a prized Easter gift for children and servants.
***
Hares and rabbits have long been symbols of fertility. The
inclusion of the hare into Easter customs appears to have
originated in Germany, where tales were told of an "Easter
hare" who laid eggs for children to find. German immigrants
to America -- particularly Pennsylvania -- brought the
tradition with them and spread it to a wider public. They
also baked cakes for Easter in the shape of hares, and may
have pioneered the practice of making chocolate bunnies and
eggs.

Hot cross buns were among the earliest Easter treats, made
by European monks and given to the poor during Lent.
Pretzels were originally associated with Easter. The twists
of a pretzel were thought to resemble arms crossed in prayer.
***
Around 1885, Russian jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé took the
decoration of eggs to new heights. He volunteered to create
a jewelry egg for Czar Alexander III to give his wife,
Marie. Fabergé kept the egg a secret, but delighted the
royal family with an ordinary looking "egg," but with tiny
surprises made of gold, enamel, and precious gems inside.
***
After their baptisms, early Christians wore white robes all
through Easter week to indicate their new lives. Those had
already been baptized wore new clothes instead to symbolize
their sharing a new life with Christ. In Medieval Europe,
churchgoers would take a walk after Easter Mass, led by a
crucifix or the Easter candle. Today these walks endure as
Easter Parades.
