QuartodecimansSome churches, especially those of Asia, were called by this name by those who disagreed with them for their practice of observing the Passion of Christ on the date of the Passover. The fourteenth of Nisan falls on random days of the week according to the Jewish calander; most churches opted to celebrate the death and resurrection of Christ on the Sunday after the full moon of spring. The controversy between the two dates is known as the Paschal Controversy, which led to the great majority declaring that the Lord's resurrection should be celebrated on Sunday, and the paschal fast should end on that day.1 1Ferguson, Everett.
