Interesting facts about Easter this year
Easter is early this year. 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 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 are 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!
