Interesting Easter fact

Work has been crazy. I can’t even look at a computer when I’m home. However, I thought this was interesting & wanted to not go longer than 2 weeks with an entry!!

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.

Based on the above, Easter can actually be one day earlier (March 22) but
that is pretty rare.

Here’s the interesting info. This year is the earliest Easter any of us
will ever see. Only the most elderly (95 or older) of our population have seen
it this early 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 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!
