Norman Chaplain’s Corner Rev. Irvin L. Sharp Greetings to all <strong>Korean</strong> <strong>War</strong> <strong>Veterans</strong>. We all recall being so far away from home especially on religious holidays. I recently came across a statement about Easter that had significance for me... Easter This special celebration of the resurrection is the oldest Christian festival, except for the weekly Sunday celebration. Although the exact date was in dispute and the specific observances of the festival developed over the centuries, it is clear that Easter had special significance to the early generations of Christians. Since Christ’s passion and resurrection occurred at the time of the *Jewish Passover, the first Jewish Christians probably transformed their Passover observance into a celebration of the central events of their new faith. In the early centuries, the annual observance was called the “pascha,” the Greek word for Passover, and focused on Christ as the Paschal Lamb. Although the New Testament does not give any account of a special observance of Easter and evidence from before A.D. 200 is scarce, the celebrations were probably well-established in most churches by A.D. 100. The earliest observance probably consisted of a vigil beginning on Saturday evening and ending on Sunday morning and included remembrance of Christ’s crucifixion as well as the resurrection. Evidence from shortly after A.D. 200 shows that the climax of the vigil was the baptism of new Christians and the celebration of the Lord’s Supper. By about A.D. 300 most churches divided the original observance devoting Good Friday to the crucifixion and Easter Sunday to the resurrection. – Fred A.

Our Heavenly Father, bless all who worship Thee, from the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same. Of Thy goodness, give us; with Thy love, inspire us; by Thy Spirit, guide us; by Thy power, protect us in Thy mercy. Receive us now and always. Amen. March/April, 1999 Page 57
