Pascal (name)
Pascal is a masculine and feminine given name. It is a Francophone name, cognate of Italian name Pasquale, Spanish name Pascual, Catalan name Pasqual and Portuguese name Pascoal. ''Pascal'' is common in French-speaking countries, Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands. Derived feminine forms include ''Pascale'', ''Pascalle'' or ''Pascalina''. Pascal is also common as a surname in France, and in Italy (in Piedmont, Aosta Valley and, as ''De Pascal'', in Friuli-Venezia Giulia). Pascal derives from the Latin ''paschalis'' or ''pashalis'', which means "relating to Easter", from the Latin term for "Easter", ''pascha'', Greek Πάσχα, from the Aramaic ''pasḥā'' (Hebrew ''pesach'') "Passover" (since the Jewish holiday Passover coincides closely with the later Christian holiday of Easter, the Latin word came to be used for both occasions). The Christian given name originally derives from the meaning "one born on Easter day", or "born on Pentecost" (see below). Variations of the g ...

Given Name
A given name (also known as a forename or first name) is the part of a personal name quoted in that identifies a person, potentially with a middle name as well, and differentiates that person from the other members of a group (typically a family or clan) who have a common surname. The term ''given name'' refers to a name usually bestowed at or close to the time of birth, usually by the parents of the newborn. A ''Christian name'' is the first name which is given at baptism, in Christian custom. In informal situations, given names are often used in a familiar and friendly manner. In more formal situations, a person's surname is more commonly used. In Western culture, the idioms "" and "being on first-name terms" refer to the familiarity inherent in addressing someone by their given name. By contrast, a surname (also known as a family name, last name, or Gentile name, ''gentile'' name) is normally inherited and shared with other members of one's immediate family. Regnal names ...

According to the Book of Exodus, God in Judaism, God commanded Moses to tell the Israelites to slaughter a lamb and mark their doorframes with its blood, in addition to instructions for consuming the lamb that night.

But when the angel saw the blood on the Israelites' doorframes, he would ''pass over'' their homes so that the plague should not enter (hence the name). The story is part of the broader Exodus narrative, in which the Israelites, while living in Egypt, are enslaved en masse by the Pharaoh to suppress them; when Pharaoh refuses God's demand to let them go, God sends ...

Antipope Paschal (687)
Paschal was a rival with Theodore for Pope following the death of Pope Conon (21 September 687), and thus is considered an antipope of the Roman Catholic church. Biography Prior to the disputed election, Paschal was an archdeacon. According to the ''Liber Pontificalis'' partisans of Paschal and Theodore seized different parts of the Lateran, and as each were unwilling to give way to the other they were locked in combat for control of the entire basilica. Meanwhile, representatives of the garrison, the majority of the clergy and the citizens met in the imperial palace and eventually elected Sergius, a priest of the church of Santa Susanna as Conon's successor. Having thus decided on Sergius, they brought him to the Lateran and forced their way in. Although appearing to accede to the supporters of Pope Sergius, Paschal sent messengers to the exarch of Ravenna John Platyn promising gold in exchange for military support. The exarch arrived, demanded the gold, and looted Old St. P ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
