EASTER SUNDAY.

Today is Easter, the day on which
Jesus Christ is supposed to have
risen from death, after His cruci-
fixion by the Jews-triumphed over
death and sin by the redemption of
mankind; therefore it is day OF
rejoicing throughout the Christian
world. Easter is the end of Lent,
or forty days fast. kept by CathO-
lie, Greek and Anglican churches.
and is day of great religious cere-
mony by those churches through
out the world. In some Catholic
countries it is common for people
to greet each other with the Eas-
ter kiss, saying, Christ is risen"
being answered, He has indeed
risen"
Easter has always been a popular
festival, and in the early Christian
church was held for three days. 1t
was also the day dedicated to the
great heather goddess Oster or
Ester In the 2nd century a con-
troversy arose between the western
and eastern churches as to the time
of holding Easter. The eastern
church celebrated Easter ON the
18th day of the first Jewish month
or moon. The western OF Roman
church celebrated it on the the first
Sunday after the 14th day The
controversy was finally decided in
favor of the western church by the
Pope, which usage still prevails
throughout Christendom.
Easter Sunday has another great
significance. 1t was in commemora-
ton of Cnrist's resurrection that
the Christian Sabbath was instr
tuted-changed from the Jewish
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1900-04-15

Sabbath kept in commemoration of
the creation and deliverance of the
Children of Israel (Which is still
kept by the Jews On the seventh
day. to the first day of the week
or Sunday. The Sabbath question
also occasioned much controversy
in the early Christian church, some
observing the ancient Sabbath and
some the new. The controversy
was finally settled by Pope Sylves-
ter l, A. D., 322, and an edict was
published by Constantine the Great,
who was the first Christian emper-
or, that Sunday should be observed
as a day of rest or the Sabbath,
throughout the Roman empire,
which at that time constituted the
greater part of the then known
world. The above is given merely
as historical facts.

even more that was memorable in his
