To a rriv e a t th o se reaso n s It is nec essary to go b ack in to an cien t history. The festiv al now know n us E a ste r was celeb rated by u n d e n t Israel as the P asso v er fo r m any cen tu ries be fore th e b irth o f J e s u s C hrist. It was based upon th e ev en ts which took place w hen th e H ebrew s were, saved from th e d e stru c tio n which w as vis ited upon th e E g y p tian s, us given In Exodus 12:27. T h e first C hristian s, being in th e m ain Jew s, continued for a long tim e to observe th e l ’ussover as well as o th e r an cien t cerem onies. But g rad u ally th e se early follow ers of the C ross began to su b stitu te the Christ fo r th e p asch al lam b of Isruel In the P a sso v e r cerem onies. E ventually th e re aro se a difference of opinion betw een th e C h ristian s of Hebrew d escen t an d tlm se of Gentile descent a s to th e tim e w hen these cerem onies should he celebrated. Those of H ebrew d escent declared th at th e day o f th e d eath of Jesu s should he th e d a te of th e ending of the p aschal fu st, w hich In H ebrew rites, alw ay s w as on th e fo u rteen th day of tl»e moon In th e evening. Therefore th e E a s te r festiv al, which followed, m ight fall on any day of the week. T hose of G entile descent, however, w an ted th e first duy of the week, .Sunday, to he th e first day of the re su rre c tio n festiv al.
