Un atzīme, ka kristīta tā paša gada otrās Lieldienās 25.aprīlī.
Translation: And a note that she was baptised on the second day of Easter of the same year, 25 April.
Julian Easter 1888 fell on 24 April, so Easter Monday = 25 April Julian (= 7 May Gregorian). This proves Aina copied Julian church-book dates. "Par Kristīni tuvāku ziņu nav." In 1919 she ran across the meadows to Liepa to tell the Latvian army where the Germans were and was given a silver thaler (p. 9).
