TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Easter is nearly three weeks later this year than last. Why does the
date wobble around the calendar so? The way of calculating the date
was set by the Emperor Constantine in 325. The decision ended a very
bitter controversy in the church. Some people wanted to synchronize the
Pasch with Passover on the fourteenth day of the Jewish month Nissan,
and their opponents wanted it after the Passover was complete, on the
Sunday after the first full moon of springtime. The ecclesiastical rules do
not exactly connect with the astronomical rules. The emperor squashed
the hopes of the quartodecimans, as the fans of 14 Nissan were called,
and chose Sunday. The traditional rule is that Easter is the first Sunday
after the first ecclesiastical full moon that occurs on or after the vernal
equinox, the fourteenth day of the new moon, and later than March 21.
Thus, Easter wobbles between March 22 and April 25.
The actual tables and methods for computing the date are
extraordinarily detailed, with subtle variations and mind-bending
exceptions and charts with golden numbers, dominical letters, and
epacts measuring leap years. In 1954 and 1962 the ecclesiastical
calculations actually overrode the astronomical new moons and bumped
Easter back a month! Today, there is a movement in the World Council
of Churches (Protestants and Orthodox) for all Christians to combine
their celebrations, based on the star charts for the Jerusalem skies. In
principle, the Catholic Church is open to an ecumenical agreement on a
fixed date for Easter, but we desire a unanimous decision from the
World Council.
