THE DATE OF EASTER. The date of Easter
is determined by the ecclesiastical calendar
Of the Catholic church. II is very compli.
Gated and elaborate affair invented by Lilius,
a Neapolitan as ronomer and sage, under Pope
Gregory XIII, at the close of the sixteenth
century. 1t would be preposterous to tax
the brains of modern readers with the
abrstruse calculations by which the date Of
Easter is determined, hut few general rules
might be given for their enlightenment.
The regulstons of the council of Nice are
four: First. Easter must be celebrated on a
Sunday; second, this Sunday must follow the
fourteenth of the pasohal moon; third, this
the paschal moon is that moon whose four
toenth day falls on or next following the day
of the verna equin X; fourth, the equinox
is fixed invariably in the calendar on the
2lst day of March.
This calendar moon, it should be rcmem-
bered, is not the moon of the heavens, nor yet
the moon Of the astronomers. but it is an i'm
aginary moon created for ecclesiastical con-
venience. From these conditions it follows
that Easter Sunday cannot happen earlier
than the 22d of March or later than the 25th
Of April.
