CLING TO ANCIENT CUSTOMS
in Rural England Forms of Easter
Celebration Indulged in for Cen
turies Are Still Kept Up.
The mention of hot cross buns im
mediately suggest.^ England, where
they are used more universally than
perhaps any other country. And while
England is not a Catholic country,
so-called, rural customs of all kinds,
religious and otherwise, have an un
usually firm hold. One of the very
strangest Easter-day customs is called
the hai*epie festival, enacted in Leices
tershire, at the village of Hallaton.
Every Easter morning a brass band
heads a procession which takes in most
everybody in the town.
They parade through the streets and
after a short service at the Episcopal
church the rector, aided by two or
three officials of the village, cuts up a
large rabbit pie, which has been baked
for the occasion. These pieces of pie
are fought for by boys and young men,
down a hillside called Hare Bank, and
it is wnsidered something to be proud
of to deserve the largest cut of the
pastry.
This is followed by a feast in the
principal tavern or church, and ale in
abundance is consnmed, an afCair
which precedes a football match fa
mous over the whole of the county,
and looked forward to by thousands
I of spectators every year.
