I always wondered how the Hunchback of Notre Dame got his name. It is because he was a foundling abandoned at age of four years in a church on the Sunday so named. Incidentally, I always had the impression that the hunchback was to be pitied. So far he has been a brutally assaultive giant, also attempted to abduct Esmeralda.
Quasimodo \Quas`i*mo"do\, n. [So called from the first words of
the Latin introit, quasi modo geniti infantes as newborn
babes, --1 Pet. ii. 2.] (R. C. Ch.)
The first Sunday after Easter; Low Sunday.
