With Easter begins the fifty days of Easter season which ends at Pentecost. the Octave of Easter is the first week of the fifties, is considered as if it were one day, that is, the joy of Easter Sunday lasts eight days, in traditionally baptized at the Easter Vigil, were introduced to a deeper harmony with the mystery of Christ celebrated the liturgy.
The "octave of Easter Sunday ends with the eighth, called" In albis ", because that day the newly baptized at one time deposed white dresses received the day of his baptism.
THE JEWISH AND CHRISTIAN fifty
Fifty days after the feast of Passover, the Jewish people celebrated the Feast of Booths or firstfruits that the fields had produced (Ex 23:16). This was the third Jewish month (in our current month of May). Similarly, the month of September resulted in the celebration of the harvest of the crop last year, the Feast of Tabernacles. In this way the Jewish people ritualized three feasts (Deut 16.1 to 7).
the fifty states Deuteronomy Easter (between Easter and Pentecost): "You'll have seven weeks from the day that targets the sickle to the harvest count seven weeks, and celebrate the Feast of Weeks to the Lord your God "(Deuteronomy 16: 9-10). To count seven weeks (Lv 23.15 to 22) from the day after Easter Saturday, the Jewish Pentecost always falls on Sunday.
's relationship with Easter Pentecost is evident in the Christian liturgy. At Passover commemorates the liberation salvation of Jesus Pentecost is the communication of this fact to the entire universe and humanity through the believers gathered in the new church. But the Christian festival of Easter is prolonged, as in the Jewish calendar, for fifty days.
is, in fact, eighth Sunday and a week of weeks. This period, called Eastertide or fifty Easter celebrates the risen Christ, present in the Church and the Holy Spirit, gift of the Father's promise. As Lent is a time of trial and temptation, the fifties is a sign of perfection and eternity.
TOP OF THE EIGHTH OF EASTER
When at the end of the fourth century, the original meaning of Easter fifties began to decline, began to celebrate Easter eighth in the East and West. The cycle of seven weeks old broke down into a new cycle of eight days, an eminently baptism. The eighth allowed newcomers like the delights of his baptism, extending for a week "the day the Lord has made" (Ps 117, 24). At first there were seven baptismal day. Saturday was the time when the neophytes had emerged from the white garments received in baptism. He later moved to Sunday rite, named for this reason in albis. The newly baptized were seated among the people. The eighth is called alba or white.
newly baptized neophytes or met every day this week Easter in a different basilica. As the whole week was festive Since 389, all Christians could participate in the Eucharist of the neophytes and baptismal parties remember that in previous years, had participated for the first time. In the morning there was a Mass and met afternoon to visit the baptismal font. The eighth day, usually on Monday, all Christians celebrated the anniversary of his baptism (Pascha annotinum). From this meeting came the idea of \u200b\u200bremembering the baptism every Sunday with the asperges me (outside Paschal time) or vidi aquam (at Easter time). The holiday week, which existed in the late fourth century, became three days of festivities in the tenth century Finally, Pius X in 1911 reduced the three-day festival on Sunday only.
The aim of this week was that newcomers receive the latest catechesis, called Mystagogical. The octave of Easter is thus related to the preparation for the sacraments of the newly baptized at the Easter Vigil.
THE "AGNUS DEI"
The final act of this ceremony on Saturday "in albis" and octave of Easter, was given to the neophytes of the Agnus Dei, relic and at Mass had been distributed by the pope to the cardinals and church officials, and then it, the clergy and the faithful attendees.
were the Agnus Dei medallions made with the paschal candle wax left over from the previous year, blessed and anointed with holy chrism by the Pope, and marked with the image of the Lamb, the most expressive symbol of Jesus Christ, Redeemer and Savior of the world.
XIV century rituals described the distribution ceremony: During the singing of the Agnus Dei , the pope distributes the Agnus Dei of wax on. Cardinals and prelates, placing them in their mitres. After the Holy Sacrifice, go all the couch and sit down to eat, and in between both, it describes an acolyte with a silver tray full of Agnus Dei, and says
"Lord, these are the tender lambs that we have announced the Alleluia, just out of the sources, and are beaming with clarity, alleluia." The priest then moves to the middle of the room, and repeats the same announcement, then comes closer to the Pope, and in higher pitch, repeat a third time and more expensive to post, banking, finally, the dish on the papal table. The pope then distributes the Agnus Dei to their families, priests, chaplains, the minions, and sent some as gifts. The Catholic sovereigns. "
In fact, these "Tender lambs" fresh from the baptismal font and announcing the joys of Easter, neophytes were the object that week, and especially that day, the complacency of August Pastor and the entire Christian people.
The origin of the Agnus Dei is neither a pagan or superstitious, but a Christian, and probably Roman. Does not go back beyond the ninth century. Currently, following a ceremonial sixteenth century, Pope blesses him solemnly, at the beginning of his pontificate, and then every five years, but there is another private formula which used to bless them when they are exhausted, or in any other circumstance that deems appropriate.
Their size ranges between 3 and 23 centimeters, and also the size of the image. This is the Lamb lying on the book closed with seven seals, haloed with the cross, and flaunting the banner of the Resurrection. All around is written the legend: Ecce Agnus Dei, etc. On the back is usually represented one or more saints, and there, or face, it records the name of the reigning pope. By the blessing and anointing that apply to them, the Agnus Dei are considered as holy relics, which in some churches, like the Benedictines, are shown in the main altar, the Sabbath "in albis"
LA Liturgy of the Easter Octave
All eighth days of Passover to the liturgy are as one day with Easter Sunday. Therefore, in the preface and the various embolisms of the Eucharistic Prayer in each day this week, said today (not at this time) in which the Lord conquered death.
In the passage from the Gospel of the Mass of the eighth go-without claiming on continued reading, various fragments representing as many appearances after the resurrection.
Every day this week are privileged, are equal to the solemnities of the Lord, and its own mass.
All celebrations saints are omitted, of whom not only made or commemoration.
Solemnities both universal and local match this week was moved to Monday, June 20, (if you have accumulated more than one, at the following fairs), festivals and memories, however, are ignored.
During every day this week I used the Easter Preface to the expression on this day (not "at this time.")
At the end of the Mass, Lauds and Vespers and chaired by a minister, the parting words "Go in peace" and his response adds "Alleluia, alleluia."
Should celebrate the Eucharist this week with the same signs holidays that are commonly used on Sundays (singing of the Alleluia before the Gospel, the Preface, festive garments, etc.), The sprinkling of water, however, is exclusive of Sundays.
In the Mass during the Easter week insistently invites us to contemplate the glory of the Risen spraying: in the Gospel readings are proclaimed selected pages of the four evangelists who has several appearances of the Lord.
