The seventeenth is Easter Sunday, and
with to- morrow ends the solemn and
penitentiai season of Lent. 1t is the an
nual commemoration of the Resurrection
of Christ. The church enters with veal
GUS fidelity into the spirit of the anthem:
To-day He's risen. death no more
Shall bind him to the tomb.
The early Christian councils laid down
the rule that Easter Sunday should be
the first Sunday after the full moon,
which happens upon or next after the
21st of March, "when the Fast of Lent is
continued for forty days before the Easter
Sunday" The first of these days is CALI
ed Ash Wednesday from the custom of
sprinkling ashes on that day and mark
ing the people on the forehead, with the
sign of the cross, accompanied with the
admonition, Memento more, &c. Shrove
or Shrive Tuesday is the day preceding,
on which the people were "shrived" or
confessed. Shrove Tuesday is usually
the next Tuesday after the first change of
the moon in February, but this year
there being no change in February,
Shrove Tuesday fell on the first of March.
The earliest day ON which Easter can
fall is the I'D of March, and the latest the
25th of April. Suppose the full moon to
occur on the 10th of March, the first full
moon after would not occur until the
18th of of April. In 1859 Easter fell on
the 24th of April In 1916 it fell on the
ed of March. In ISIS it fell on the ear
liest possible day, the Odd OF March.
On Sunday the Church celebrates the
Resurrection of Christ from the dead, I'd
is the most joyful festival the Church
celebrates. On this day the Church
throws off the sable drapery with which
she has been clothed for the last forty
days, and robes herself as bride await
ing the reception of her bridegroom. The
The altar is richly adorned; the music,
which during the penitential, season has
been ofthe most solemn and doleful
cadence, to harmonise with the SORROW
full occasion-Christ's Passion-now as
sumes the most joyful tone, and the organ
which has been silent during Good Fri
day, opens its rich Diapasons, and gush-
es forth its melodious sweetness to sing
the praises of Him who has triumphed
over Death and He'll.
Let the deep organ swell the lay
In honor ofthis festal day.
And let harmonious choirs proclaim
Christ's forever blessed name.
