    Pondering this tidbit ....

    James M. O’Toole wrote an article in the publication Church History, in which he states that the earliest mention of  Easter services in the United States came in 1809 when the Rev. Anthony Kohlmann celebrated Easter Sunday Mass with his Catholic congregation. However, Easter was not widely celebrated in America until after the Civil War.
