LOL! The pseudo-history of this thread is so bad that is just deserves to be laughed at.

In most places and languages "Easter" isn't called Easter but "Pascha," which means "Passover." Even in English-speaking countries, the candle used at Easter time isn't called an "Easter candle" but a "Paschal candle."

And as much as you like to claim it, Constantine wasn't the first pope. 5 posted on 01/08/2008 10:22:16 AM MST by Pyro7480

The History is there for all to read.

Don't be mislead; Passover has nothing to do with Pascha
and is not celebrated at the same time

I never stated that Constantine was a Pope.

I prayerfully recommend a remedial reading course.

What does "first pontiff of the Roman church" mean?

Of what "Roman church" was Constantine the "first pontiff"? Keep in mind that Constantine, although a Christian sympathizer, was technically not a Christian until he was baptized on his deathbed.

Oh, and Constantine never used the word "Easter".
