V u / Thursday, January 18, 1951 THE CLINfON CHRONICLE EASTER FOR 1951 WILL BE EARLIEST ONE UNTIL 2008 Paffe Thrw Chicago—If for no other reason, the year 1051 -will be distinguished by at least one thing for sure: • Its Easter—on March 25—will be the earliest observance of the holi day in the second half of the 20th "century. The world will have to wait until the year 2008 to celebrate it earlier. That year it will be on March 23, according to computations at the Ad ler Planetarium and astronomical museum, Chicago. The last time it was on March 23 was in 1913. Although Easter has come to be associated with bunnies, colored eggs f and spring fashions, it primarily is a religious feast day. It commemor- v ates the resurrection of Christ on the third day afteSr-Galvary. As a reli gious feast it is governed by the ec clesiastical calendar and is movable, unlike Christmas which always falls on Dec. 25. Easter can be as early as March 22 and as late as April 25, a varia tion of 35 days. The last time it was on March 22 was in 1818. It next will be that early in 2285. It fell on April 25 m 1943; it will not do so again until 2038. The method of fixing the time of Ea&er is complicated and dates back to 325 AD. In that year the Council of the Christian Churches met at ^Nicaea (Nice) in Asia Minor. Besides setting forth the Nicene creed, a sum mary of the belief in the divinity of Christ, the councilors decided that Easter should be the first Sunday af ter the Paschal full moon which oc curs upon, or next after, March 21, the vernal equinox. Travel underlay this decision. In early times Easter was a day of great celebration in big cities and pilgrims journeyed on foot or in crude trans ports to take part. They needed moon light to help them find their way at night, so the reckoning of the Easter date was worked out for their convenience. If the Paschal full moon falls on a Sunday, Easter is observed the fol lowing Sunday. The Paschal full moon is the 14th day of a lunar month reckoned according to an an cient ecclestiastical computation and not the real, or astronomical, full moon. The 20th century had an earlier Easter twice before. In addition to March 23 , in 1913, it fell on March 24 in 1940. It will be on March 23 again in 2008 and March 24 in 2391. For the Week . . .
