THE EASTER HARE
by Margaret Meyerkort
In the time when the Jesus Child lived
among [people], the earth was
beginning to die; the stout oaks could
no longer withstand the storm; the
delicate aspens shook as with an ague,
and the flowers opened their blossoms
only to gaze at the sun and wither away.
Men and women wandered over the
earth with sad hearts and listless eyes.
Only the Jesus Child knew that the
earth would not die for he had come to
bring life and hope. So he called the
animals to him and said, "Which of you
will be my messenger and journey
through the world saying to everyone
you meet, 'The earth will live anew, for
the Christ Child has come'."
20XX 2
20XX 3
Then all the animals pressed around him saying, "Send me,
send me." The Jesus Child saw that it would be difficult to
choose so he said, "The one who can most quickly circle the
earth and return shall be my chosen messenger."
Then the wild stag thought "I am the fleetest afoot—I shall
win the race." And he went bounding over the hills. But when
he came to the rocky highlands, he could not resist leaping
over crag and burn and so happy was he in his game that he
forgot the passing of the hours.
The salmon said to himself "I can dart through the water, and
float with the tide—I shall far outstrip the heavy-footed
beasts." But when he saw the sunbeams sparkling on the
stream, he thought they were golden flies. All day long he
leapt, hoping to catch the bright winged vagrants. And so the
day turned to its close.

The hawk exulted "I am the swiftest of all who circle
the earth." And he shot like an arrow through the blue.
But suddenly his keen eye saw a tiny field mouse
creeping among the corn. Straight as a plummet, he
swooped—his journey was forgotten in the joy of the
chase.
Only the hare kept quietly on his way. Turning neither
to right nor left, gazing ever before him, he steadfastly
held his course, and just as the sun was setting, he
completed the circle of the earth. Thus it was that the
hare became the messenger of the Jesus Child.
20XX 5
But when our Lord told him to bear the good tidings to all
[humankind], the hare was overcome with fear. "How shall
I make them believe me?" Then the Jesus Child asked the
raven for the gift of one of his eggs. "Show them this egg,"
said our Lord "and say, 'Just as the golden yolk shines in
the egg, so the child who has come from heaven, has
brought the light of the sun to earth and the earth will not
die but live anew'." Then the hare set forth upon his way
with joy.
For many years the hare journeyed from place to place
telling the glad news and at last he come back to the hills
of Palestine. But when he returned he found that Christ
had already died upon the cross and his body had been
laid in the dark earth. But the hare knew the wonderful
truth. He knew that just as the golden yolk is hidden within
the egg, so the light of heaven was now to be found in the
innermost heart of the earth.
SO IT IS THAT EVERY SPRING
THE HARE IS STILL THE
MESSENGER OF JOY AND
BRINGS US THE EASTER EGG.
