Generally Known.
Easter, which Is now preceded by
Lent. in early days was introduced by
fasting on one day only, the Friday in
Passion week, now known as Good Fri.
day. By and by the time vas extended
IN forty hours, In token that Christ had
lain that long in the tomb. Some GEN.
tnries later this was extended to forty
DAYS, in concentration OF the season
of the temptation and fast.in the Wild
erness.
The name Easter is probably derived
from The Teutonic goddess OF spring,
Ostera. or Oestre, whose festival occurs
about the same time MS the observance
of Easter. Lent Is derived from the
hnolo-Saxon word lencten, which
e .'spriDg," and has no connection
Mt all with fasting, al some people
imagine.
It was not until the fourth century
HAT there was any regularity about the
fixing tie date of Easter Sunday. Those
of the early Christians who believed
the Christian Passover to be Il COM
memoration of Christ's death adhered
TO the custom of holding the Easter
festival on the day prescribed for the
first mouth; that is, the lunar month,
Of which the fourteenth day either falls
on or next after the day of the yernal
equinox.
attaching greater Importance TO the day
of Christ's resurrection, held to Easter
being celebrated on the Sunday which
followed the fourteenth day of the
moon of March, the day on which
Christ suffered.
This difference was finally settled by
the Council of Nice, in the year 1926.
The rule then adopted is still in force.
Easter is always the Sunday after the
full moon which happens Oh or next af.
ter March 21-the vernal equinox. BY
this arrangement, Easter may come as
early as March 90 or as late as April %.
