This scan is not an automotive document. It is page 78 of a vintage issue of HOLIDAY magazine (a March issue), containing an article titled 'Easter Sunrise Service' by André Maurois. The article traces the history of Easter sunrise services in America, crediting Danish author Jacob Riis with the first suggestion for such a service upon the opening of a road to the top of Mount Rubidoux in Riverside, California, where a cross was erected in honor of Father Junipero Serra. The article notes that attendance grew from about one hundred people at the first service to more than 15,000 worshipers making the pilgrimage each Easter morning. It describes other notable services: Mirror Lake in Yosemite Valley beneath Half-Dome, the Hollywood Bowl Sunrise Service with a living cross of three hundred children, and the Easter Sunrise Pageant of Zion, Utah, compared to the Passion Play at Oberammergau. The page mentions the upcoming Easter falling on April twenty-first. Photographs show a choir in white robes with a large cross photo-collage, Colorado's Garden of the Gods ('a natural cathedral'), and crowds at the first outdoor services on Mt. Rubidoux. The page contains no fuse data, wiring, part numbers, or vehicle information.
