EASTER FESTIVAL
AN APRIL FEAST
Faster Customs and Easter Services From Ancient Days
@a5 To Present Time

/ what the origin of the. name Easter,
may be Is d. moo ted point. Some sup
pose It was derived from tho name Of the
Saxon goddess Eostre,i whose feast wa
| kept IN spring. Others believe the 1,amt
was derived from tho word "Oster,"
which means rising.
A Movable Feast.
,rhc feast of Easter has always bccn
| known In ecclesiastical parlnnco as one
of tic ENJOYABLE fensts.' and ns early
as the second century Of tho Christian
era great diversity Of opinion arose as to
the time Of It's celebration
East Against West.
In tie churches Of Asia Minor many
Christians kept the pnschal feast on the
same day as that on which the Jews
kept their Passover, that being the 14tl1
of Nissan, the Jewish month corresponds
ing with March and April. M churches
Of the West observed It on fle Sunday
following the 14th Of Nsan. Polycarp,
Bishop Of Smyrna. had kept the feast
with st. John on the 14th Of Nissan, and
pleaded for that day. Anicetas, Bishop
of Rome. add,ced the practice of St.
Peter and st. Paul In favor Of tho Sun-
day after the 14th Of Nisan
The Matter Decided
Neither party would yield, and the con-
troversy was so long and obstinate that,
early in tho fourth century, the Emperor
Constantine felt it his duty to have tho
controversy settled. Accordingly, the
great Ecumenical Council OF Nice, meet
ing A. u. 325, decided the matter and
hid down the rules to govern the fixing
of Easter, by directing that the 21st
day Of March should be accounted the
vcrnal equinox. That the full moon
happening upon or next after the 21st Of
March shall be taken for the full moon
Of Nisan."
''That the Lords day next following
first full moon shall be Easter Day" t
'But If the full moon happens on Sun
day. Easter Day shall be tho Sunday
after This is the rule now observed.
But It was long after the canon Of the
Council Of Nice was decreed before It
was entirely effective. for the history OF
the Irish Church, and, consequently, OF
the church III Scotland, shows that as
late as the sixth century they were still
in opposition to the canon, n fact which
proves how deep and strong the feelings
OF many considering the subject had
been
