On the Calculation of Easter.
The calculation of the date of Easter has been a cause of controversy in Christianity for centuries. The Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic traditions will excommunicate any Christian who doesn’t observe the date in tandem with their church. However, this stricture is demonstrably not something Christ or the Apostles ever intended. In the 2nd century, the Quartodeciman Controversy arose, in which bishop Victor I of Rome excommunicated Christians who observed Easter in tandem with the Jewish passover (as opposed to the western practice of shifting the celebration to fall on a Sunday). Synods were held in various places, including at Rome and at Ephesus, expounding the opposing views as to the dating of Easter, and letters were exchanged between Victor and bishop Polycrates of Ephesus. When the latter did not quickly acquiesce to the former, Victor issued a sweeping excommunication against all the Quartodecimans, who were accused of the heresy of Judaizing. But this excommunication was seen as excessive, and vehemently protested by many presbyters, including St. Irenaeus of Lyons. Victor seems to have ultimately been persuaded to retract the excommunication decree. The matter was finally resolved, through the intercession of bishops Theophilus of Caesarea and Narcissus of Jerusalem, who recommended that observance on a Sunday become the standard, so as to avoid confusion and further set the holy church of Christ apart from the Jews.
All of this is known from Eusebius of Caesarea’s Church History (Book V, chapters 23-25) and Sozomen’s Ecclesiastical History (Book VII, chapter 19). What they tell us is that many notable early Christians such as Polycarp of Smyrna, Melito of Sardis, Sagar of Laodicea, and Polycrates of Ephesus, observed Easter in tandem with the Jews, having received that custom from the Apostle John. The western Christians had the custom of moving the date so that it’d fall on a Sunday, and recalled getting this usage from the Apostles Peter and Paul. Irenaeus was said to have noted that Polycarp had even met with bishop Anicetus in Rome, where they agreed that it was fine for different Christian communities to observe different customs, and that the matter ought not to cause division or conflict in the church. Nevertheless, the western practice prevailed, not through a dictatorial papal or ecclesial decree, but by common consent and as a means of avoiding factionalism and division.
