Easter
The Pasch was celebrated by the Jews on the 14th day of their month of Nisan in commemoratkn of their delivery out of Egy.pt. This day was the day of the full nupon of the vernal (soring) Bquinox. At first among the Eastern Christian Churches the custom obtained of celebrating Raster on the same day as the Jewifh Patfoh. Among the Western Churches, however, it became tne rule to keep the festival on the Sunday next after the full moon of the vernal Eqiiinox. This rule was made a Church ordinance for the entire Christian world at the Council of Nice, A.D. 325. P.orne spoke and the matter settled itself for all time.
