The meetings topic for discussion was raising funds period, but when the church found that when Sundays. Improper for fasting, only thlrty-stx days remain ed. The change was made by Pope Gregory and the observance began four days earlier, on A-h Wednesday. The word. Lent, is derived from the lengthening of days. In the early church, it was observed for forty hours, the period that Christ lay In the tomb, but was changed later to Include the forty days. It closes the Saturday preceding Easter. In 325 A. D. the council of Chris tian churches at Nlcaea (present day Nice of Isnlk In Asia Minor) decreed that Easter should be on the first full moon which happens upon or next after the 3 1st of March. The chief reason was that the pilgrims needed moonlight to travel on their way to the great yearly Easter festivities. Thus he date of Easter may van' be tween March 22 to April 35, over a period of thirty-five days. Easter this year falls on April 31. almost as late In the year as it Is possible to be. The last seven days of Lent con- of that week Is observed as Maundy Thursday, commemorating the insti tution of the Eueharise. Good Fri day, the following day. commemo rates the day of Christ's crucifixion. Easter, one of the chief festivals of the Christian church, commemorates the resurrection of Christ. O. 5. C.
