"1582, June 14. Baptized Pascow, son-in-law of Pascowe John."--St. Columb Major. Pascha Turner, widow, was sister of Henry Parr, Bishop of Worcester. The more English "Easter" had a longer survival, but this arose from its having become confounded with Esther. To this mistake it owes the fact that it lived till the commencement of the present century: "April, 1505. Christened Easter, daughter of Thomas Coxe, of Wapping."--Stepney. "May 27, 1764. Buried Easter Lewis, aged 56 years."--Lidney, Glouc. "July 27, 1654. Married Thomas Burton, marriner, and Easter Taylor."--St. Peter, Cornhill. _Epiphany_, or _Theophania_ (shortened to Tiffany), was popular with both sexes, but the ladies got the chief hold of it. "Megge Merrywedyr, and Sabyn Sprynge, Tiffany Twynkeler, fayle for no thynge," says one of our old mysteries. This form succumbed at the Reformation. Tyffanie Seamor appears as defendant about 1590, however ("Chancery Suits: Eliz."), and in Cornwall the name reached the seventeenth century: "1594, Nov. 7. Baptized Typhenie, daughter of Sampson Bray. "1600, June 21. Baptized Tiffeny, daughter of Harry Hake."--St. Columb Major. The following is from Banbury register: "1586, Jan. 9. Baptized Epiphane, ye sonne of Ambrose Bentley."[25] Epiphany Howarth records his name also about 1590 ("Chancery Suits: Eliz."), and a few years later he is once more met with in a State paper (C. S. P. 1623-25): "1623, June. Account of monies paid by Epiphan Haworth, of Herefordshire, recusant, since Nov. 11, 1611, L6 10 0." This Epiphan is valuable as showing the transition state between Epiphania and Ephin, the latter being the form that ousted all others: "1563, March 14. Christening of Ephin King, d. of -- King. "1564, June 30. Christening of Effam, d. of John Adlington. "1620, March 30. Frauncis, sonne of Alexander Brounescome, and Effym, his wife, brought a bead at Mr. Vowell's house. "1635, Jan. 28. Buried Epham Vowell, widow."--St. Peter, Cornhill. But Ephin was not a long liver, and by the time of the Restoration had wholly succumbed. The last entry I have seen is in the Westminster Abbey register: "1692, Jan. 25. Buried Eppifania Cakewood, an almsman's wife." Pentecost was more sparely used. In the "Rotuli Litterarum Clausarum in Turri Londonensi" occur both Pentecost de London (1221) and Pentecost Servicus, and a servitor of Henry III. bore the only name of "Pentecost" ("Inquis., 13 Edw. I.," No. 13). This name was all but obsolete soon after the Reformation set in, but it lingered on till the end of the seventeenth century. "1577, May 25. Baptized Pentecost, daughter of Robert Rosegan."--St. Columb Major. "1610, May 27. Baptized Pentecost, d. of William Tremain."--Ditto. "August 7, 1696. Pentecost, daughter of Mr. Ezekel and Pentecost Hall, merchant, born and baptized."--St. Dionis Backchurch.
