In the Easter schedule up to and in
Guiding 1868 the earliest date on
which Easter occurs is March "a,
and that happens in 1910. But 1924
will see Eastertide on April 20. In
fact, Easter seems to show a p~artiatity
for certain dates, and a neglect of
others. April 20 seems to be a prime
favorite, falling on that date three
times In IL years-once in 1919, again
this year, and also in 1890. But,
strangely enough, in the next forty
years, the Easter of most recurring
frequency Is on April $50 it would
seem on this occasion the follies of
April Fools day could well be shifted
TO a week day. Easter Sunday will be
celebrated on April l in 1884, 1915 and
1856.
But April 1 does not stand alone
in this respect and has Il share hOnors
with April II, which claims Easter in
1927, 1898. 1919 and 1860. April 3 is
another fayorite 'oceasion-the Easter
date of 1881, 1912 and l953-as is
April 9. the day upon which the Resur-
rection is observed in 1899, 1914 and
1850.

At the beginning of the Fourth
century the Emperor Constantine de-
eided that it was time to end the con-.
troyersy. And at that time at the
council of Nice the regulation was
made that Easter should fall upon the
Lords day following the full moon of
Nisan.
But owing to several causes, among
them, perhaps, the use of different
astronomical cycles, this regulation
did not do away with all controversies
concerning the date. Certain 1t is that
the Irish and early Anglo-Saxons, be-
fore the council of Whitby, did not
observe the same day as the Romans.
To settle the matter, Oswy, King of
Northumbria, decided to take the mat
ter in hand and held q council at
Whitby, A. D., 1854. Colman, bishop
of Lindisfarne, represented the British
church, while the Roman party had
for Its champions Agilbert, bishop of
Dorchester, and Wilfrid, a young
Saxon. Colman spoke first and argued
that the custom of the church of Brit
ain ought not to be changed since it
was inherited from their f~orefathers,
men who had been loved Of God.
Wilfrid replied, THE Easter which
we observe l saw celebrated by all at
Rome; there, where the blessed apos-
ties, Peter and Paul, lived, taught,
suffered and were buried" Then ne
concluded, And IL, after all, that
Columbia 1.-THE great irish monk) of
yours were, which ! will not deny, a
holy man, gifted with the power of
working miracles, IS he, l ask, to be
preferred before the blessed Prince of
the Apostles, to whom our Lord said,
Thou art Peter, and upon this rock
will l build my church, and the gates
of hell shall not prevail against it; and
to thee will I give the keys of the
kingdom of h%eayen?'
Then, King Oswy, turning to Col
man, demanded, rs it true or not,
Colman, that these words were spoken
to Peter by our Lord?" Colman was
confused and unable TO deny it. He

'"Then," said the king. can you

words were addressed principally to
Peter, and that to him were given the.
keys of the kingdom by our Lord?"
Both agreed.
"Then." said the king. q tell you
plainly, I shall not stand opposed to

Heaven 1 desire, as far as in me lies,
TO adhere to his preeepts and obey his
commands. lest by offending him who
keepeth the keys, I should. when I
present myself at the gate, find no n
to open to me-"
Thus the controversy ended, much
to the dissatisfaction of Colman, who
resigned his see rather than submit 10
the decision.

The Easter celebration which skips
so earelessly over the month of March
and April was the subject of a bitter
controversy, which ragged some Is
centuries ago. The present rule for
the determination of Easter Is that Ii
must fall on the first Sunday after the
fourteenth day Of the moon that hap
pens to be reigning at the time of the
yernal equinox (the point which the
sun passes In crossing the equator
from south TO north). But the yernal
equinox was arbitrarily determined
and declared to fall on March 81,
whether 1t would or no. In reality Ii
often fell a little earlier or a little
later.
The controversy arose over the
fact hat In the early days the
Christian Easter and the Jewish Pass
over were usually celebrated on the
same day. AS the opposition of the
Christians to Che Jews became more
acute the agitation against celebrating
Easter on the same day as the Pass
over grew. In the Second century the
churches of Asia Minor, many OF
which were racially Jewish, kept
Easter on the Passover date, the four
teenth of Nissan, the Jewish month
which corresponds to our March OF
April. But the churches of the West
in recognition of the fact that the
Resurrection took place on Sunday
kept their festival on the Sunday fol
lowing the fourteenth of Nissan. By
this they accomplished the double pur
pose of celebrating the Resurrection
on the Sabbath and of separating
themselves from the Jews. TertulliaI
states that in the Occident and In
Carthage Easter was an immovablt
feast. taking place in the month o.
March. He names March % as the day
Of the death of Christ, and 1t is pre-
sumed that on that date a fast wa
begun which was broken the follow
ing Sunday in the celebration of the
Lords Supper.
When these disputes arose Poly
carp, the bishop of Smyrna. In 15t
A. D., conferred with Anicetas, the
bishop of Rome, upon the question
Polycarp pleading the practice of SIS
Phillip and John, the Anicetas refer
ring to SIS. Peter and Paul. Neither
could convince the other and the mat
ter dropped for the time being.
But at the end of the Second cen
tury Victor, the bishop of Rome. de
cided 1t was time to compel tn,
Eastern churches to follow in Rome
lead. and wrote a letter demandins
frat the prelates Of Asia celebrat,
The Pleasantville press. (Pleasantville, N.J.) 1912-1929, 1924-04-19

Easter on the same day as the Western
church. The East refused and the dis
pute became bitter. and all those who
kept Easter on the fourteenth of
Nissan were termed By their opponents
Quartodeeimans. Another objection to
the Eastern way Of reckoning the feast
vas due to the imperfections Of the
Jewish calendar. The Western Chris
tians considered the yernal equinox
the beginning of the natural year, and
owing to the miscalculation In the
Jewish calendar the Passover was
sometimes celebrated before the YER
nal equinox. This resulted IN the
paschal feast sometimes being held
twice within one year and omitted al
together In the next.
