Next Sunday Easter,
Though Many Claim
Date Is Incorrect

Next Sunday IS Easter regardless
Of technical astromical discrepancies
which are being urged in various
quarters.
Easter according to the World
almanac and other authorities, 1s
celebrated on the first Sunday after
the full moon occurring after the
vernal equinox on March 21. IT this
method were followed, Easter would
fall this year on April 8, instead OF
April 1.
But Easter is an ecclesiastical fes
tival, not an astronomical event.
Christians on that day celebrate the
resurrection of Jesus, not the rising
Of a full moon.
About 1926 A. D. the ecclesiastical
council at Nice decreed that the
Easter full moon should be computed
as falling IA days after the proceed
ing new moon and this custom has
been observed for 1900 years. The
new moon this year occurred oH
March II. Adding fourteen days,
April 1 is proven Easter Sunday
