- Title
A CALL TO CELEBRATE THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST ON THE SAME DAY: 8 APRIL 2012.
- Abstract
The article presents a call for Christians of all denominations to celebrate the resurrection of Christ on the same day on April 8, 2012. It mentions that in the early Christian centuries, there was a disagreement about the date of the Easter because the Ecumenical Council of Nicaea established a rule that Easter should be celebrated on the Sunday following the first full moon after the Spring equinox while most of the Orthodox Christians wanted to keep to the Julian calendar. In response, it states that a conference was held at Aleppo, Syria to establish a common date that would be acceptable to the whole Christian world. Further, it notes that April 8, 2012 was calculated according to the rule and method agreed by Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox during the seminar in Aleppo.
