To d.iy is known throngltont all Christendom as Ester Sunday. This, althonsth it is what is known as a moveable feast is kept as tha anni versary of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Amongst the histories, cus toms and traditions of the day these which are ennmerated below are some. Like ninny another thing which is revered by the Christian world, the name Easter is said to it3 name from the old Saxou tleiry e. It is otherwise asserted Hurt it obtains, its origin from the word Osten which signifies rising. Of the establishing of the time when East er is to be held the books furmsu many intersting statements. The prayer book says: " .cosier aay i always the first Sunday after the fnll moon whii-h happens npon or next after the 21st of March; and if the fnll moon happens on a Sunday, Easter-day is the Sunday after." It seems that the manner of determin ing the time of the occurrence of Easter-day is the result of a quarrel which took place between the . , We9tern churches- Jews ami Armenians of holding to the the Asiatic Church holding to the celebration of Christ's resurrection on the recurrence of tbe Jewish Passover or Nisan; and the Romish authorities insisting npon a different dav. Thus it happened that the fcm peror Contantine at the tune ol tlie holding of tha Ecnraenical Council of Nice (A. D. 325) took steps m Ue matter wuicu rcunct . . 1 1 .. In.ai. - inr rtOWD Ol xiitse tuirs, . 1 That the 21st day of March be accounted the Vernal Solstice. 2. Tbat the full moon bappening upon or next after the 21st of March shall be taken for tbe mil oi tne moon of Nisan. 3. Tbat the Lord's day next fol lowing that full moon be Easter Sunday. 4. Bnt if the full moon happen npon a Sunday, Easter-day shall be the Sunday after. Subsequent to this time a " bnll " went forth from the Vatican decree ing that, "If any bishop, priest or dicon celebrate the Holy Feast of Easter-day before the vernal equinox. as the Jews do. let htJl be deposed. When in Eugland, after these E :n- menical dogmas and Pope's bulls l,ul been uromnlgated, a prevailing ignorance of astronomy and the con sequent coufnsion as to the exact method and occurrences of chronol ogy, differences arose regarding the tim for celebrating Easter-dav, a discission took place before Oswy. iTinr of Northnmhna regarding this point ; the dispntants Wing Bishop Coleman of the then Bnttsb ciinren .n.l Wilfrid, a young Saxon who had been to Rome and obe ved the way thiuga were done there. In this discussion Wilfrid qnoted. as a clincher for his side of the case tbe following language of Christ to Peter : "Thon art Peter, and npon this rock will I bnild my Church, and the gates of hell shall not pre vil arainyt it ; and to thee will I rive the kevs of the Kingdom of Heaven." Turning to Coleman the King asked: " Coleman, is that so; did the Lord talk that w y to Peter?" Even bo, Oh King." replied the Bishop. "Then," said the King. "I tell yon plainly I shall not stand opposed to the doorkeeper ol me Kingdom of Heaven. I desire as near as possible to conform to ins notions : lest by o 'ending him who i T klinnld. when I nresented myself at the gate. nni that there was an insurmountable nbiection to my la-ing admitted there f This settled the question , und ever since that time E-ister day has been observed as by the rnles or the Council of Nice. We may as well add that on the coming of Easter day depend all the moveable feasts of the year. The cntom of distribntingthe "pasche" or "pace eggs is of very old dste ; and it seems to have bad its earliest observance in England iu Lancashire- There are man v quaint old customs connected i;n Easter-day ; bnt ' we have no space for their enumeration.
