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.

Query

Can we discover more details on the tradition of mature women being central to early Easter festivities?

Do we know what a "town corporation" was in English history?
