Headword:
Autê
Adler number: alpha,4469
Translated headword: she, it
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] that one; but au(/th ["this"] [is used] demonstratively.[1]
Also [sc. attested is the phrase] "this [is] the day, which the Lord made."[2] [i.e.] this [is] the Lord's Passover, March 25. So if the Christ rose on the third day, as he himself said, "It is necessary for the Son of Man to be killed and to rise again on the third day,"[3] why is the resurrection of the Lord called the eighth [day]? It is called the third from the Passion and the Cross, but eighth from the Creation and the Resurrection. For the beginning of the phenomenal world came on it, and Christ the true light arose on it.[4]

Chronicon 1.312.9-22. The earliest annual Christian feast was March 25, thought to have coincided with 14 Nisan at the time of the Passion, and assigned also to the spring equinox in the Julian Calendar. This feast celebrated the whole dispensation: Incarnation, Passion, and Resurrection. When the decision was made to celebrate the Resurrection on a Sunday, rather than always on 14 Nisan (as the Quartodecimans did), March 25 remained as a feast of the Incarnation, that is, the Annunciation. Logically, the feast of the Nativity was given a date nine months later. See Talley, cited below.
