EASTER LEGENDS: The Spring-Tide Festival of All Ages Most of the customs and traditions connected with this festival are an inheritance from our heather ancestors. [Comments on ancient Egyptian and Persian spring rituals, and on 19C egg-based European Easter rites] In some sections (of England) the town corporation joined with great dignity with others in a game of ball on Easter Monday. This has survived the the Fast Day games, but in some villages twelve old women wee always chosen for the yearly game. ]
