Dear Pavo Baptist Church Family and Friends: Have you wondered why Easter is on different dates each year? Sometime it is as early as March 22nd (which hasnt happened since 1818 and not again until 2285), and as late as April 25th (which last happened in 1943 and wont happen again until 203 8). The date for Easter changes each year because the date is dependent on the Jewish Festival of Passover. According to Scripture, Passover is to be held on the first full moon following the vernal equinox and that is why the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD set the precedent that Easter would be celebrated on the first full moon following that equinox (the Equinox being on March 21st). When that should occur on a Sunday, Easter would then be delayed another week. The word Easter comes from the Germanic word Eostre who was a goddess in Germanic paganism. The month of April was dedicated to feasts in remembrance of Eostre, but those had long died out by the 700s AD. It was replaced by the Pasch al Month which of course is the Christian celebration of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. Without the Resurrectio n, there is no hope for anyone. In an interview with Diogo Morgado who plays Jesus on an episode of The History Channels The Bible, Morgado spoke of how emotional the crucifixion was and that it was the high point of the life of Christ and the Bible. Sadly, he is so wrong. The Resurrection is the high point of Christ and of the Word of God. May we remember with deep gratitude the gift of Christ on the cross, but most important the victory of Christ over sin and the grave. Jesus said Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13) Passion Week oppo rtunities at PBC will help us gain a fuller understanding of what Christ experienced that last week as He laid down His life! Please sign up for the Passover Supper on that Thursday (sign-up is required), and attend the Good Friday Service, Easter Sunrise service at the ball field, Sunday School and Morning Worship, and the Quiet Lords Supper that Sunday night! We need to ponder Christs great gi ft. As I close this column, remember that we are thankful for those brave men and women who gave their lives for their friends on the battlefields of the world so that this great land the Lord has given us might remain free. We celebrate those brave ones on the last Monday of May as Memorial Day. They in part help us to understand what it means to give their lives that others might live, while Jesus fully reveals the depth of that great love. In the Matchless Name of Jesus, Brother Tim
