TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Most languages take the name for this fifty-day season from the Lord's Passover: Pasqua in Italian, Pâques in French, Paach in Dutch, Pascha in Greek and Russian. English has a much newer name, the name of a pagan goddess, Eoster. For centuries be-fore Christianity took hold, in both Germany and Britain the spring equinox was dedicated to her and the concepts of fertility and rebirth. She was said to be a playful spirit, following the Sun King's chariot, and ending the reign of winter. She had a magical companion, a rabbit who hid eggs in the fields to coax plants and animals to rebirth. It was believed that Eoster once came across a bird with broken wings and saved it by turning it into a rabbit--an egg-laying rabbit at that! Although they were bap-tized, most people didn't take to the new Latin name (Pascha Domini) too easily, and kept calling the spring equinox by the old accustomed name. For good measure, they kept a pagan name for Christmas, too: Yule. --Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El lenguaje es una herramienta de comunicación no solo entre nosotros mismos, sino con Diosito. Nací en EE. UU. pero mi lengua materna es el español, lo aprendí en la cuna y lo usábamos en casa. También aprendí ingles en la escuela. Hay quienes me preguntan cual idioma uso para hablar con Dios. Esta pregunta reconoce que el ser humano debe usar un lenguaje humano para rezar. Esta semana celebramos el Día del Idioma para festejar la herencia que tenemos en nuestra len-gua castellana. Festejamos el 23 de abril, fecha en que falleció Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra (1547-1616) autor de Don Quijote de la Mancha. Este autor español fue el que enriqueció y ayudo a dar forma gramática a la lengua española. Hay que saber que el castellano que llegó a nues-tro continente tiene una larga y rica historia, ya que es una mezcla del latín, dialectos ibéricos y el árabe. Una vez en América el español tomó ca-racterísticas y vocabulario indígena, y ahora en EE. UU. se está renovando con anglicismos. Y es en este idioma que yo y muchos latinos hablamos con Diosito. -Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
