by Michele D. Madonna • Traditions of egg decofating have enriched the myths and legends of many cultures, and have delighted people of all ages around Eastertime for centuries. Popular believes, imagination and craftsmanship ;hqve turned egg decorating into a highly developed and diversified folk art. The egg itself possesses the secret of life; it symbolizes a "rebirth” and is often associated with Easter, spring, dawn and creation. All involve a beginning, and in'one form or a'nother, almost everyliving thing comes from or - can be tracked hack to an c^gg of some sort. MANY. YEARS before the birth of Christ, the Persians and Egyptians were coloring eggs. And-while the Jews do not celebrate EaSter, they too colored eggs at approximately the same time of the year, dur- v ing their Passover season In some parts of the world. Jews stijl use colored' eggs .for Passover and mother religious celebrations. Because of the coincidental nearn<?ss of-Passover and Easter, Christians may have gotten the idea for colored eggs from the Jews apd incorporated it into their Easter celebration Rose Society Being Formed DENNISVILLE - Memberships are being accepted in a new Rose Society to cover Cape May, Atlantic and Cumberland Counties. The next meeting will be 1:30 p.m. April 13. featuring a demonstration of how to prune roses. The location can be learned by calling Gdorge Wuesl at 399-6990.

In many European < tries, it was the custom^ Easter day to have a ‘

ing" contest where children would knock the ends of eggs together see who could keep~his egg unbroken the longest Eggtossing and egg-rolling games were broughf to the United States by German settlers, as was the concept

of the "Easier Bunny.’*

BECAUSE RABBITS multiply quickly and ar^'a symbol of fertility, they became associated with the celebration; of lEaster. According tb ligend, the Pagan goddess of. spring, Eostre, turned a bird into a rabbit This may explain why, in some areas t the Easter Bunny delivers

Some p/the eariy Germah anff 1 Pennsylvania Dutch/ traditiops and customs are still in existence today The most common Tradition, still practiced, is hiding eggs for children to find on Easier morning. Both

parents and children color them during Easter week, leaving the eggs for the, Easter Bunny to hide on Easter Eve: If an egg is Vparticularly beautiful, it . may be kept to treasure as a work of art 6r given as a special gift to a friend. THE VARIOUS methods of decorating eggs have also become tradition. Today, some people still color their eggs by boiling them in natural materials such as onion skins («ee Dolrrg tMore...Wifh Lvaat column j or flowers, but the most common method of applying color is to use commercial dyes made especially for that purpose.
