On the Pascha by Melito of Sardis: Let's Talk about Easter!
Manage episode 406541839 series 3472993
In the second century, it's safe to say that Christians were still kind of figuring things out.
One of those things for example, was the celebration of Easter. There was a heated disagreement in the church about whether Easter should be celebrated on a Sunday (the Lord's Day) or whether it should stay on the day of the Jewish Passover.
What came of this agreement is one of the oldest and richest homilies from that era: the Peri Pascha (roughly translated to 'On the Passover') by Melito of Sardis. It contains some beautiful affirmations of Christ being the center of the Christian faith, and how He fulfills the themes introduced in the Old Testament. It's really cool. So we're gonna talk about it!
