The Date of Easter(Teacher’s Manual/Pupil’s Textbook)
The date of the Christian feast of EasterChanges every year. Until the fourth and fifth century there was no agreement as to when that date should be. Then in the fourth centuryit was decided that Easter Sunday would fall on the Sunday fallowing the paschal moon – the full moon that occurs at or after 21 March.
Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon after 21 March.
Jesus and ThomasAlthough Thomas the Twin was one of the twelve disciples, he wasn’t with the otherswhen Jesus appeared to them.
The told him ‘We have seen the Lord!’But Thomas said, ‘First I must see the nail scars in his hands and touch them with my finger. I must put my hand where the spear went into his side. I won’t believe it until I do this!’
A week later the disciples were together again. This time, Thomas was with them. Jesus came in while the doors were still locked and stood
inthe middle of the group.
He greeted the disciples and said to Thomas,‘Put your finger here and look at my hands. Put your hand into my side. Stop doubting and have faith!’
Thomas replied, ‘You are my Lord and my God!’
Jesus said, ‘Thomas, do you have faith because you have seen me? The people who have faith in me without seeing me are the ones who aretruly blessed!’
