Easter Facts

2008

Do you realize how early is this year? It's
March 23! As you may know, is always the
1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the Spring
Equinox (which is March 20).

This dating of is based on the lunar calendar
that Hebrew people used to identify Passover,
which is why it moves around in date on our Roman
based calendar.

Here are a couple of things you might be interested
in!

Based on the above, can actually be one day
earlier (March 22) but that is pretty rare. Here's the
interesting info. This year is the earliest 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 will be this early
(March 23) will be the year 2228 (220
years from now).

2) 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!).

3) The next time it will be a day earlier,
March 22, will be in the year 2285 (277
years from now).

4) 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!

Interesting! QC
