Nearly everybody knows that the date of Easter varies from year to year, that unlike Christmas It does not come on one certain day of the month la one certain month, that unlike Thanksgiving day It. does not come on a certain day of the week in a certain month nnd that it may come on a certain day Sunday In either of two months. That is to say, Easter Sunday may fall either iu March or April. But they do not know, perhaps, that it cannot come earlier than March 22 nor later than April 25 nor the reasons therefor. To arrive at those reasons it is necessary to go back Into ancient history. The festival now known as Easier was celebrated by ancient Israel as the Passover for many centuries before the birth of Jesns Christ. It was based upon the events which took place when the Hebrews were saved from the destruction which was visited npou the Egyptians, as given In Exodos. 12:27. The first Christians, being in the main Jews, continued for a long time to observe the Passover as well as other ancient ceremonies. But gradually these early followers of the Cross began to substitute the Christ for the paschal lamb of Israel In the Passover ceremonies. Eventually there arose a difference of opinion between the Christians of Hebrew descent and those of Gentile descent as to the time when these ceremonies should be celebrated. Those of Hebrew descent dwtanwi that the day of the death of Jesus should be the date of the ending of the paschal fust, which In Hebrew rites, always was on the fourteenth day of the moon , in the evening. Therefore the Easter festival, which follownKl flight full on any day of the week. Those f Gentile descent, however, wauled the tirst lay of the week, Sun.iy, to be the first day of the . resurrection festival. Tims the Friday preceding would be observed as the date of the crucifixion without paying uny attention to the day of the month, the fast continuing until midnight of Saturday. The dispute over this point was complicated by ihe Irregularities of the time of full moon in relation to Uie The Hebrew sacred year began at the instant of the vernal equinox, but this time Is subject to slight changes due to the astronomical fact of perturbations of ihe motion of all bodies in the solar system. The Hebrews based their years m lunar changes, whereas we now determine the exact length of a year by the sun and.stars, which in more accuraie ft is notable that the ancient Hebrews always had trouble with (heir cliro nology because they based Uie begin ning of each 'month on tho t)Ist si,,,,, of new By ELMO moon. t0 the fact that the , revolves around the earth Ju 27 days. 7 hours, 3 minutes and 11 14 seconds, unti tl) eaith around the sun In Sl.MS.WO seconds.

The result of all these complications was that by applying the Jewish rules to Easter, the dates of the crucifixion and the resurrection, two days which were supposed to be fixed for all time, varied constantly. For S25 years the difficulty between the Christians of Jewish descent and those of Gentile descent continued. Not being able to decide the recurrence of Easter, the council of the early Christian church finally appealed to the astronomers In Alexandria, Egypt, for aid. However, these scientists were not of much assistance, for they- had no lunar tables such as we now have, computed by master mathematicians. They attempted to make rales, but the variations of the full moon in reference to the year would not cause Easter to fall on Sunday any more than any other day. All wanted It to come on Sunday, so each nation celebrated to suit Itself so that it would come on that day. Thus In A. I). 8S7 the Gauls celebrated Easter on March 21, In Italy It fell on April 18, and In Egypt on April 25. Eventually the selection of a certain Sunday was definitely fixed during the Sixth century A. D. It was designated as the Sunday between the fifteenth and twenty-firs- t days of the moon in the first month of the Jewish lunar years. It was directed that the computation should be made according to the tables of Victorious of Acgul" taine, introduced In 437 A, D. Be cause of the fact that Britain had ceased to be a part of the Roman empire, the Sixth century decree did not affect the British church at first, and It continued to calculata Easter on u basis previously approved at Itome. The matter was finally disposed of at u synod held at Whitby in Yorkshire lit 004 A. D., after which the clergy of the British Isles conformed to the teneral practice of the western church. Accordingly Enster Is now observed by both the Roman Catholic nnd Protestant churches on the first Sunday after the full moon (or fourteenth day of the moon) oa or next after March 21. So It cannot be earlier than March 22 cor later thnn April 2o. Thus It Is possible for the astronomers and mathematicians to tell In advance on what dates Easter will come each year, and lliey nro now known for more than a century In advance. This, of courte, may be changed,- - especially If the proposed new calendar which Is to contain 13 months Is put Into effect universally. In that case Entter Sunday rill be a fixed date. Just as Easter Is a variable date, so it has a variable meaning to va tering conrntre, questioning donbts (,nd frustrated struggles are empty.
