イースター（復活祭）
2024-03-31
イースターは、クリスマスと並ぶキリスト教では最大のイベントの1つです。イエス・キリストの復活を祝う日となり、欧米諸国では祝日としている国も少なくありません。
復活祭の日付毎年変わる
復活祭の日にちは毎年変わり、基本的には、「春分の日の後にくる満月の後の、最初の日曜日」が定義です。
ここでいう春分の日は教会暦での春分の日となり、3月21日に固定されています。なお、現在世界的に利用されている「グレゴリオ暦」は、それまで使われていた「ユリウス暦」において、この春分の日が3月21日からずれてきたために作られた暦でもあります。
満月も教会暦でいう満月のことで、実際の満月とは若干ずれがあります。それでもほぼ実際の満月と一致するように暦が作られています。
2023年の場合は、3月21日の次の満月は4月6日です。その次の日曜日は4月9日ですが、この4月9日がイースターです。
2024は、3月31日の次の満月は3月25日となり、その次の日曜日である3月31日がイースターとなります。
イエス・キリストの復活を祝う日
イエス・キリストは、十字架に付けられ磔刑となった後、3日目に復活しました。
聖書の福音書から、キリストは安息日の前日に十字架に付けられたとされています。現在のキリスト教における安息日は「日曜日」ですが、当時のユダヤ暦における安息日は土曜日でした。
そのため、土曜日の前日、金曜日にイエスキリストは十字架につけられ、亡くなりました。この金曜日を1日目と数えて、翌日の土曜日が2日目、そして、3日目となる日曜日にキリストは復活しました。
キリスト教では、このキリストが復活した日曜日を「主の日」である主日と呼び、毎週礼拝を行うようになりました。その主日の中でも最大にお祝いする日が、復活祭の主日と言うことになります。

レント（四旬節）
2024-02-14 - 2024-03-31
復活祭前の40日の期間
レント（Lent）とは、復活祭前の40日の期間を指します。ただ実際には日曜日は数えないため、復活祭の46日前から始まります。カトリック教会を中心に四旬節とも言われており、プロテスタント教会では受難節とも言います（受難節は、復活祭前の特に2週間や1週間の期間をさす場合もあります）。その最初の日は灰の水曜日となります。
2024年は2月14日～3月30日がレントの期間となります。
キリスト教では、いくつかの数字を重要な数字として扱っていますが、「40」もその1つです。
特に、イエスキリストが公的な生活を始められる前、荒野で悪魔からの誘惑を受けながらも、40日間断食しながら過ごされたことから、四旬節の40日は取られていると言われます。
他にも、出エジプトでイスラエルの民が荒野をさまよった期間も40年間であり、他にも、重要な場面で40という数字が出てきます。
この期間は、イエス・キリストの十字架での受難と、私たちの罪のために死なれたその死を思い起こす期間となります。宗派や人によっては断食をしながら過ごすこともあります。

灰の水曜日
2024-02-14
レントの始まりの日
レント（四旬節、受難節）の始まりの日にあたるのが「灰の水曜日」です。
レントとは、復活祭前の40日の期間をいいます。ただ、日曜日は数えないため、実際には復活祭前日の土曜日までの46日間となり、この始まりの水曜日が「灰の水曜日」となります。
2024年は2月14日（水）となります。
カトリック教会では、頭に灰をかけたり、額に灰を付けたりします。日本ではほとんど見かけませんが、海外では額に十字を描いた人を見かけたりもします。

Working from home meant we could vary snack and coffee breaks, change our desks or view, goof off, drink on the job, even spend the day in pajamas, and often meet to gossip or share ideas. On the other hand, we bossed ourselves around, set impossible goals, and demanded longer hours than office jobs usually entail. It was the ultimate “flextime,” in that it depended on how flexible we felt each day, given deadlines, distractions, and workaholic crescendos.
Aristotle made several efforts to explain how moral conduct contributes to the good life for human agents, including the Eqikh EudaimonhV and the Magna Moralia, but the most complete surviving statement of his views on morality occurs in the Eqikh Nikomacoi .
Successful people ask better questions.
But on Aristotle’s view, the lives of individual human beings are invariably linked together in a social context. In the Peri PoliV he speculated about the origins of the state, described and assessed the relative merits of various types of government, and listed the obligations of the individual citizen.

This is Photoshop’s version of Lorem Ipsum. Proin gravida nibh vel velit auctor aliquet. Aenean sollicitudin, lorem quis bibendum auctor, nisi elit consequat ipsum, nec sagittis sem nibh id elit.
Integer vel libero arcu, egestas tempor ipsum. Vestibulum id dolor aliquet dolor fringilla ornare. Nunc non massa erat. Vivamus odio sem, rhoncus vel bibendum vitae, euismod a urna. Aliquam erat volutpat. Aenean non lorem arcu. Phasellus in neque nulla, sed sodales ipsum. Morbi a massa sed sapien vulputate lacinia.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable.

This is Photoshop’s version of Lorem Ipsum. Proin gravida nibh vel velit auctor aliquet.

If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean non enim ut enim fringilla adipiscing id in lorem. Quisque aliquet neque vitae lectus tempus consectetur. Aliquam erat volutpat. Nunc eu nibh nulla, id cursus arcu.
