George Leo Haydock

AD 1849
Children, (parvulis.) Those who were above 12 years of age, attended the festivals as much as possible, particularly the three great ones.

The lawgiver knew of what importance it was to inspire their tender minds with a love and respect for religion, and for the laws. (Calmet)
