LITURGY MATTERS 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 calcu-lating the date was set by the Emperor Constantine in 325. The decision ended a very bitter controversy in the church. Some people want-ed to synchronize the Pasch with Passover on the four-teenth day of the Jewish month Nissan, and their oppo-nents wanted it after the Passover was complete, on the Sunday after the first full moon of springtime. The eccle-siastical rules do not exactly connect with the astronomi-cal 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 calcula-tions actually overrode the astronomical new moons and bumped Easter back a month! Today, there is a move-ment 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 prin-ciple, 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.

Tradiciones de Nuestra Fe Hace 3,000 años los chinos pintaban huevos de pato para celebrar la primavera. Los egipcios pintaban huevos en honor de la diosa Ishtar, mientras ingleses y alemanes lo hacían para celebrar al sol. Eventualmente la práctica continuó en honor de la resurrección de Cristo. La costumbre de esconder huevos hervidos y pin-tados ha tomado nueva vida entre los mexicamericanos. Cada Cuaresma mi mamá solía guardar los cascarones de los huevos que nos comíamos. Recuerdo con alegría la costumbre de colorear los cascarones el Sábado de Gloria para que la coneja nos los escondiera para la Pascua. Al día siguiente, después de Misa nos reunía-mos a buscar cascarones y romperlos sobre la cabeza de quien se arrimara, para bañarlos con el confeti mul-ticolor. La costumbre de celebrar la Pascua con casca-rones decorados es una bella tradición. Esta costumbre muestra que todas las naciones pueden agregar a la Iglesia cristiana tradiciones propias de su cultura, ya que Jesucristo dio su vida por todas ellas. Es justo cele-brar la Resurrección del autor de la vida con símbolos de fecundidad y todos los colores del gozo.

DID YOU KNOW? Pray for the Healing of Abuse Victims Each of us, as members of our Cath-olic community, can contribute to the healing by remembering survivors of abuse in our prayers. The following prayer is from the USCCB. Holy Spirit, comforter of hearts, heal your people’s wounds and transform brokenness into wholeness. Grant us courage and wisdom, humility and grace, to act with justice. Breathe wis-dom into our prayers and labors. Grant that all harmed by abuse may find jus-tice. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

¿SABÍA USTED? Ore por la sanación de las víctimas de abuso Cada uno de nosotros, como miem-bros de nuestra comunidad católica, podemos contribuir a la sanación re-cordando a los sobrevivientes de abuso en nuestras oraciones. La siguiente oración es de la USCCB (Conferencia de Obispos Católicos de Estados Uni-dos). Espíritu Santo, consolador de corazo-nes, sana las heridas de tu pueblo y transforma el quebrantamiento en inte-gridad. Concédenos coraje y sabiduría, humildad y gracia, para actuar con justicia. Danos sabiduría en nuestras oraciones y obras. Concede que todos los perjudicados por el abuso puedan encontrar justicia. Pedimos esto a tra-vés de Cristo, nuestro Señor. Amén.
