Lent began just two weeks later
than usual this year, the moon being
responsible, rs 1t is for all movable
church feasts. Ash Wednesday was
March 3, though the penitential season
began February 10. Easter day, on
which all the rest depend, is always
the first Sunday after the full moon
which happens upon or next after
March 81, and If the full moon hap
pens upon Sunday Easter day is the
J Sunday after. Full moon, however,
for the purposes of the rules and
tables of church movable and immov-
able feasts, is the fourteenth day of a
lunar month, reckoned according to
an ancient ecclesiastical computation.
The beginning of Lent must always be
forty-six days before Easter, thus pro-
viding forty days fasting, exclusive OF
the six Sundays. Lent is an old Saxon
word, signifying spring; therefore, il
means III reality the spring fast. This
fast is believed TO be of Jewish origin,
corresponding with the preparation OF
the Jews for the yearly expiauon.
