The passage you cite, as you quote it, seems to refer to the early history of the computus, and if so it does not qualify or contradict anything I wrote in my post.Mockingbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13012024824620380483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340051946623384854.post-87897810176646175382011-11-20T18:38:57.367-08:002011-11-20T18:38:57.367-08:00Well, I ran across this a bit late.

As always things are a bit more complex. <a href="http://www.goarch.org/ourfaith/faithandlife/pasch.pdf" rel="nofollow">Dating of Easter (Pascha)In The Orthodox Church</a>.<br /><br /><i>"Another factor that figures prominently in determining the date of Pascha is the date of the Jewish Passover. Originally, Passover was celebrated on the first full moon after the vernal equinox. Christians, therefore, celebrated Pascha according to the same calculation - that is, on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox. The correlation between the date of Pascha and the date of Passover is clear. Our Lord’s death and resurrection coincided with Passover, thereby assuring a secure point of reference in time. ... Most Christians eventually ceased to regulate the observance of Pascha by the Jewish Passover. Their purpose, of course, was to preserve the original practice of celebrating Pascha following the vernal equinox.</i>Steve R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14380731108416527657noreply@blogger.com
