AlanHo Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the Spring Equinox (which is March 20). This dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that Hebrew people used to identify passover, which is why it moves around on our Roman calendar. Here's the interesting info. This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of our lives! And only the most elderly of our population have ever seen it this early (95 years old or above!). And none of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier! Here's the facts: 1) The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year 2228 (220 years from now). The last time it was this early was 1913 (so if you're 95 or older, you are the only ones that were around for that!).2) The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22, will be in the year 2285 (277 years from now). The last time it was on March 22 was 1818. So, no one alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irene Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Easter is has always been a contender around my birthday (March 29th for any who wish to send gifts :D ).On one occasion, Easter fell on my birthday and wedding day!! A very good friend made a cake which was decorated with an easter egg, a wedding bride & groom and a narrative, "Happy Birthday".Oh yes, I forgot, and it was my 40th birthday!!!!!! :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
