| | |  Quartodecimanism: Encyclopedia II - Passover - Origins of the feastThe term Passover comes from the Hebrew Bible, first mentioned in the Book of Exodus. It came into the English language through William Tyndale's translation of the Bible, and later appeared in the King James Version as well. The final plague of the Plagues of Egypt, the killing of all the firstborn like the other plagues, did not affect Israelites. The Torah goes on to state, that upon seeing the blood, God would pass over the homes of the Israelites. The original verb in the Hebrew Torah is posach. The noun form, pe ...

| | | | Quartodecimanism: Encyclopedia II - First Council of Nicaea - The Nicene Creed symbol By and large, many creeds were acceptable to the members of the council. From his perspective, even Arius could cite such a creed.
For Bishop Alexander and others, however, greater clarity was required. Some distinctive elements in the Nicene Creed, perhaps from the hand of Hosius of Cordova, were added.
Jesus Christ is described as "God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God."
Jesus Christ is said to be "begotten, not made."
Finally, he is said to be "from the substance of the Father." No follo ...

| | | | Quartodecimanism: Encyclopedia II - Easter - Nature and development In most languages of Christian societies, other than English, German and some Slavic languages, the holiday's name is derived from Pesach, the Hebrew name of Passover, a Jewish holiday to which the Christian Easter is intimately linked. Easter depends on Passover not only for much of its symbolic meaning but also for its position in the calendar; the Last Supper shared by Jesus and his disciples before his crucifixion is generally thought of as a Passover seder, based on the chronology in the Synoptic Gospels.

| | | | Quartodecimanism: Encyclopedia II - First Council of Nicaea - Attendees Constantine had invited all 1800 bishops of the Christian church (about 1000 in the east and 800 in the west).
The number of participating bishops cannot be accurately stated; Socrates Scholasticus and Epiphanius of Salamis counted 318; Eusebius of Caesarea, only 250. The participating bishops were given free travel to and from their episcopal sees to the council, as well as lodging. These bishops did not travel alone; each one had permission to bring with him two presbyters and three deacons, so the total number of attendees would have been above 1500. Eusebius speaks of an almost innumerable ...

| | | | Quartodecimanism: Encyclopedia II - First Council of Nicaea - Character The first Council of Nicaea was the first general gathering of bishops from the whole Church, to resolve differences of faith that had arisen and to define clearly the faith received from the apostles. In this council, Church and State acted together. Earlier councils, such as the Council of Jerusalem, had resolved important questions, to be sure. Now, the Council of Nicaea formulated a definitive statement against a growing heresy, a profession of faith intended to clarify and defend the heritage of true belief. This ...

| | | | Quartodecimanism: Encyclopedia II - First Council of Nicaea - Passover Easter Controversy After the June 19 settlement of the most important topic, the question of the date of the Christian Passover, now called Easter, was brought up. This feast is linked to the Jewish Passover, as crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus occurred during that festival. By the year 300, most Churches had adopted the Western style of celebrating the feast on the Sunday after the Passover, placing the emphasis on the resurrection, which occurred on a Sunday. Others however celebrated the feast on the 14th of the Jewish month Nisan, the date of the cruc ...

Finally, the council promulgated twenty new church laws, called canons, (though the exact number is subject to debate, see [2]), that is, unchanging rules of discipline. The twenty as listed in the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers are as follows:[3]
1. prohibition of self-castration; (see Origen)
2. establishment of a minimum term for catechism;

Easter - Anti-Easter Christians.
Some Christian fundamentalists reject nearly all the customs surrounding Easter, believing them to be irrevocably tainted with paganism and idolatry. Others, like the Sabbatarian Church of God groups, claim to adhere to a more primitive form of Christianity, and keep a Christian Passover which lacks most of the practices or symbols associated with Easter and retains more features of the Jewish observance.

Easter - Western Christianity.
The Easter festival is kept in many different ways among Western Christians. The traditional, liturgical observation of Easter, as practised among Roman Catholics and some Lutherans and Anglicans begins on the night of Holy Saturday with the Paschal Vigil. This, the most important liturgy of the year, begins in total darkness with the blessing of the Easter fire, the lighting of the large Paschal candle (symbolic of the Risen Christ) and the chanting of the Exsultet or Easter Procla ...
