AprilMonthApril is the fourth month of the year in the Gregorian calendar, the fifth in the early Julian, the first of four months to have alength of 30 days, and the second of five months to have a length of less than 31 days.THE MONTH OF APRIL 2021: HOLIDAYS, FUN FACTS,FOLKLOREEVERYTHING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT APRIL!By The EditorsMarch 11, 2021By April, spring has finally sprung, and if we’re lucky, the weather will reflect that! We hopethat your sky is bright and clear and your grass is growing green. In celebration, check out themonth’s holidays, recipes, gardening tips, and folklore!THE MONTH OF APRILThe month of April gets its name from the Latin word aperio, meaning “to open [bud],”because plants really begin to grow now. APRIL CALENDARApril 1 is All Fools’ Day—otherwise known as “April Fools’ Day.”The term "All Fools," was probably meant as a deliberate stab at All Saints (November 1) andAll Souls (November 2) Day. Although the origin of playing practical jokes and pranks on thisday is hazy, many folklorists believe it may go back to 16th-century France. At that time, NewYear's Day was March 25, with a full week of partying and exchanging gifts until April 1. In1582, the Gregorian calendar moved New Year's Day to January 1. Those who forgot orrefused to honor the new calendar were teasingly called, "April Fool!" Weather folklore states,"If it thunders on All Fools Day, it brings good crops of corn and hay."The Fountainhead Factor - Your Neighborhood Newsletter – April 2021
April 2 is Good Friday.Good Friday, also known as Great Friday, Holy Friday, or Sorrowful Friday, is a majorChristian observance that commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. It is atime for Christians to reflect upon his suffering and willing sacrifice to atone for the sins ofmankind. Churches may offer special services, as well as cover crosses with black cloth as asign of mourning. For some worshippers, it is a day of fasting. Good Friday occurs two days before Easter (which celebrates Christ’s resurrection). It is partof Holy Week, which starts with Palm Sunday and ends on Holy Saturday, the day beforeEaster. In certain countries, such as Canada, it is an official public holiday. In the UnitedStates, a number of states declare this a state holiday. Traditional foods served on Good Friday include hot cross buns. These spiced sweet bunsusually contain currants or raisins and are topped with icing in the shape of a cross.April 4 is Easter Sunday. (May 2 is Orthodox Easter.)Easter 2021 will be observed on Sunday, April 4! Easter is a “movable feast” that is alwaysheld on a Sunday between March 22 and April 25. Do you know how the exact date of Easteris determined? Find out why the date changes every year and how this holiday relates to thefirst full Moon of spring.WHAT IS EASTER?Easter is the most important feast day in the Christian calendar.Regularly observed from the earliest days of the Church, Easter celebrates Christ’sresurrection from the dead, following crucifixion. It marks the end of Holy Week, the end ofLent, and the last day of the Easter Triduum (starting from the evening of Maundy Thursday,through Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday), as well as the beginning of theEaster season of the liturgical year.The resurrection represents the triumph of good over evil, sin, death, and the physical body.WHERE DID THE WORD “EASTER” COME FROM?Easter, also called Pascha or Resurrection Sunday, is a festival and holiday commemoratingthe resurrection of Jesus from the dead.Let’s start with Pascha (Latin) which comes directly from Pesach, the Hebrew word forPassover. Going back to the Hebrew Bible and the story of the first Passover, Moses tells theIsraelites to slaughter a passover lamb and paint its blood on their door. The Lord protectedthe Israelites from death by passing over their doors and would not “allow the destroyer toenter your houses to strike you down” (Ex. 12:23).In the New Testament (1 Corinthians 5:7), Paul connects the resurrected Christ to Passover.He refers to Jesus as the paschal lamb who has been sacrificed for his people’s salvation. Jesuscelebrated the Last Supper with his disciples during Passover, so it makes sense that the Feastof the Resurrection is connected with the Jewish holiday. Today, Christians celebrate the“Paschal mystery.”The Fountainhead Factor - Your Neighborhood Newsletter – April 2021
So, where did the word “Easter” come from? The exact origin of theword “Easter” is unclear. It’s not as simple as saying it has religiousorigins or pagan origins.Some historians suggest that it came from the phrase hebdomada alba, Latin for “whiteweek,” used to describe the white garments new Christians wore when they were baptizedduring Holy Week. In Old German, the word became esostarum and, eventually, Easter.The Venerable Bede, a seventh-century Anglo-Saxon historian also known as Saint Bede,writes that the word Easter comes from the Anglo-Saxon dawn goddess of fertility Eostre, alsothe goddess of the dawn, who originated in what is now Scandinavia. Over time, earlyChristians started referring to the Feast of the Resurrection by the name of the month inwhich it was celebrated—Eosturmonath (what we now call April).Alternatively, Easter may have from an old German word for “east,” which in turn is derivedfrom a Latin word for “dawn.” In the past, the word easter could mean “to turn toward theeast” or “rising” and didn’t necessarily have
