单词 | hock-day |
释义 | Hock-dayn. Now historical. The second Tuesday after Easter Sunday; Hock Tuesday: in former times an important term-day, on which rents were paid, and the like, Hock-day and Michaelmas dividing the rural year into its summer and winter halves. It was also, from the 14th cent., and probably earlier, a popular festival, signalized by the collection of money for parish purposes by roughly humorous methods: see Hocktide n., hock money n. The plural, Hock days, includes also the preceding day, Hock Monday, which was similarly celebrated.The date is sometimes given as the second Monday and Tuesday after Easter week; this appears to originate in different ways of reckoning the quindena Paschæ as the fortnight following Easter, or the two weeks before and after Easter. (Statements going back to the 15th or 16th cent. assert that Hock-day commemorated either the massacre of the Danes on 13 November 1002, or the death of Hardicnut on 8 June, 1042. From the dates of these events it is difficult to understand how either was associated with Hock-tide.)
