Easter And Jewish Passover
Related As To Origin
(By JAMES A. WILSON.)
Thu first Sunday after the first
full, moon after the 21st of March
Is always Easter Sunday, and com
ing Coincidentally with the Jewish
passover, which is a movable feast.
Many ancient and mythological
rites have been joined to the Easter
celebration. All the world Joins in
the celebration of Christmas and
Easter, though all the world is not
Christian. About thirty-five hundred
years ago, down in old Egypt on the
River Nile, the Jews held the first
Passover. Old King Tut-ank-amen
had been embalmed and placed in
his tomb some years before. Joseph
had taken his father’s family down
there during the seven years famine
In Canaan, and through his prom
inence in state affairs had placed
his eleven brothers on some of the
mast fertile pasture lands in Goshen.
They were shepherds or cattle men.
Their numbers increased very rap
idly. I have always wondered ‘’why
Jews are like that.” For that rea
son they were placed In bondage to
Phuruuh, and worked continually
for the government of Egypt. Later,
all male children were ordered de
stroyed to check tlieif increase. At
this time Moses was. both, and his
mother placed him in a little basket,
that would float, on the river where
the princess. Pharoah's daughter,
with her maids came to bathe. The
princess found the babe, adopted
him, and had him educated in the
palace in all the learning of Egypt.
He would havo succeeded to the
throne and could then have set his
people free. But lie chose to suffer
with his own people instead. After
he was eighty years old he was call
ed to lead the Jews back to Canaan
Pharoah refused to let them go.
Then came tire plagues, and the
last was to be the death of the first
born in every Egyptian family, The
Jews were commander by Moses to
kill a lamb and sprinkle the blood on
the door posts of their homes, and
all who obeyed that command were
spared When the death angel passed
over that night. Then Pharoah sent
them out in haste for fear they
would all soon be dead.
Moses led them across the Red
Sea (not on the .Ice as the colored
preacher said) toward Canaan. So
the Jews celebrate this feast of the
Passover in remembrance of their
deliverance from Egyptian bondage.
Christ and Hi.s disciples went to
Jerusalem and observed this feast in
an upper room Thursday night. On
Friday He was crucified and buried
in Joseph's tomb.
But early Sunday morning, while
It was yet dark, the two Marys went
to the tomb and found it open. The
ftngel said: "He whom you seek is
hot here, but is risen. Come see the
place where the Lord lay." So the
Christian world observes Easter on
this date, which is the same as the
Jewish Passover. Now if you could
i go into old Jenisal. ,» very early
■next Sunday morning you would see
! the morning star (Venus) and elec
tric lights coming from power from
the River Jordan. Many worshipers
will be there from all parts of the
world, and many things will appear
just as they did nineteen hundred
years ago. But late in the evening
the evening star (Jupiter) will ap
pear in the west, in all its brilliance,
shining through the desert air, and
as it sets in the west over the Med
iterranean Sea, the pale moon will
rise over the Judean hills out of the:
mists of the Dead Sea. where Nebo
and Pisgah cast their shadows, mak
ing of the River Jordan a silver
thread and the Sea of Galilee a
sparkling gem. For ten centuries the
Turks have held the Holy Land. But
just before the armistice, General
Allenby and Lawrence with the Eng
lish army entered Jerusalem and
took over Palestine for the Allies.
The Peace Conference placed it un
der English supervision. Allenby and
Lawrence appeared in London one
night at some royal reception. The
door man asked for the irnames.j
Lawrence said “Leonine and Trot
sky” and as such they were an
nounced, but we have not heard yet
whether the English saw the joke or
not. But those two men with their
faithful followers, many of which
were from the deserts of Arabia,
made It possible for the Christian
world to worship again at the
shrines of the Holy City, Jerusalem.
The Literary Digest says that Paul
Revere rode to Portsmouth, New
Hampsire, instead of Concord,
Massachusetts. Probably, somebody
at the livery stable gave him the
wrong road map.—Judge.
