Fun Easter Facts
Easter this year is on Sunday March 23 2008

Being a moon freak this is something that I didn't know - Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the Spring Equinox (which is March 20). (I learned something new today, so the day wasn't a total waste ) The 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 information, Easter can actually be one day earlier (March 22) but that is pretty rare. 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:

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!). 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!

Hmmm...all this talk of Easter makes me want to go "fuck like bunnies"...lol.

Happy Easter!
