Historical references
According to tradition, the name 'Pasqualia' comes from the Latin word 'Paschale', which means 'of the Passover'. This name was given to the month of April in ancient Rome, as it was the time when the Jewish Passover was celebrated. In the early Christian Church, the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ was moved from the Jewish Passover to the Sunday following the full moon after the vernal equinox, and thus the name 'Easter' (from the Anglo-Saxon word 'Eostre') and 'Paschal' (from 'Paschale') became associated with the Christian feast.
Ancient Rome (circa 1st century AD) to Early Christian Church (circa 4th century AD)
In medieval Europe, the name 'Pasqualia' was used to refer to the period of time between the Sunday of the Resurrection and the Feast of the Ascension. During this time, the Catholic Church encouraged penance, fasting, and spiritual reflection in preparation for the Ascension of Jesus Christ. The name 'Paschal' continued to be associated with the season of Easter and the joyous celebrations that accompanied it.
Medieval Europe (circa 11th to 15th centuries)
