| Description: | Alleluia! Easter in Old World and New A day of rejoicing around the world. St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York City, is the focal point for faith and fashion finery on parade. Wow - overhead shot looking down at cathedral and people like ants milling about. Worshippers exit the church. At Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, President and Mrs. Eisenhower attend Easter services. Ike and family exit and pose informally. The annual sunrise service at Hollywood Bowl marks the occasion with traditional splendor and beauty. Crowd in outdoor amphitheatre. Church choir forming shape of a cross. At St. Peter's Basilica, Rome, Pope John XXIII imparts his first Easter blessing as pontiff to a crowd of 30,000 in addition to 100,000 who filled St. Peter's Square, many with umbrellas. Two women cross themselves. | |
