Easter
The meaning are:
Celebrated the return of spring with an uproarious festival commemorating theirgoddess of offspring and of springtime, Eastre.
As it happened, the pagan festival of Eastre occurred at the same time of year as the Christian observance of the Resurrection of Christ. It madesense, therefore, to alter the festival itself, to make it a Christian celebration as converts were slowly won over. The early name, Easter, was eventually changed to its modern spelling, Easter.The Date of Easter
Easter was variously celebrated on different days of the week, including Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It issued the Easter Rule which states that Easter shall be celebrated onthe first Sunday that occurs after the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox. However, a caveat must be introduced here. The "full moon" in the rule is the ecclesiastical full moon, which isdefined as the fourteenth day of a tabular lunation, where day 1 corresponds to the ecclesiastical New Moon. It does not always occur on the same date as the astronomical full moon. The ecclesiastical"vernal equinox" is always on March 21. Therefore, Easter must be celebrated on a Sunday between the dates of March 22 and April 25.
The Lenten Season
Lent is the forty-six day period just priorto Easter Sunday. It begins on Ash Wednesday. Mardi Gras (French for "Fat Tuesday") is a celebration, sometimes called "Carnival," practiced around the world, on the Tuesday prior to Ash Wednesday.It was designed as a way to "get it all out" before the sacrifices of Lent began. New Orleans is the focal point of Mardi Gras celebrations in the U.S.
