Dunno. There were several councils, and according to Wikipedia, the dates were disputed for some centuries, with some regions of Europe having their own Easter separate from the other areas of Chistendom.
Artiste:
Thanks delalluvia!
Did you note too about:
Alma's sleepy groans, as reassuring of fecundity and life's continuance to one who worked with livestock."
.........
Why the word livestock?
Hugs!
Front-Ranger:
Unfortunately, I had a typo when I posted this quote. So, here it is again corrected:
"He [Ennis] was still working there in September when Alma Jr., as he called his daughter, was born and their bedroom was full of the smell of old blood and milk and baby shit, and the sounds were of squalling and sucking and Alma's sleepy groans, all reassuring of fecundity and life's continuance to one who worked with livestock."
This makes it more clear that it was Ennis who works with livestock, and that he considered his wife and children to be like livestock.
Artiste:
Thanks Front-Ranger!
Thanks for correcting!
So did Annie make a typo too?? Did she make a mistake saying that? Or the printer's did? Or?
It's unbelievable!!
My head spins...
Hugs!
