It as a movable feast depending on the time of the Paschal moon It is always within the period when nature is awaking from winter to a renewal of life Each day the sun rises earlier Its warmth drawing the frost from the ground As If by magic the dull fields are veiled In tender grpen and the flowers bud In the sheltered places In the first days of human history the cave man rubbed dry sticks together to steal fire from the sun When the spring melted the Ice of winter he bowed more profoundly to the great luminary in the sky as it appeared In the east and later when he built his altars he renewed the fires when the sun turned northward The word Easter is from the Saxon “Eostre” the name of the goddess of spring “Eoster” lived In the east with the rising sun She was the most gentle of all the deities of the pagan world As she tripped across the meadows the grass came out the flowers blossomed the Ice was broken In the brooks and tbs streams sang All the earth rejoiced for merrily

life from dry seeds the chicks from the eggs and In nature the springtide everywhere under the spell or Eostre became lovely after the winter’s sleep The Romans adopted the Saxon Eostre as their goddess Aurora When the Christinn fathers were naming the feasts of the church it was a wise thought that brought the old nature worship and the Easter resurrection Into harmony The Emperor Constantine at the beginning of the fourth century resolved to fix the time of Easter that it should not conflict with the Jewish Passover To prevent disputes be made the rules which were accepted at the Council of Nice In 325 A D The day of March was known as the Vernal Equinox the next full moon was the moon of Nisan or the Jewish Passover and the Lord's Day following was Easter Day But if the
