  3. Easter 2008

    A once in a lifetime experience!



    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!

    Celebrate with praise!

  4. In 2008, Easter will be on Sunday, March 23.

    Catholics and most Protestants use the new Gregorian calendar decreed by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 to calculate the date of Easter.

    For more information, see:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregorian_c...

    The time of Easter is based on the cycles of the moon, the equinox, and seasons and things in nature.

    In simple (?) terms Easter occurs on the first Sunday following the first full moon that occurs on or after the day of the vernal equinox (the first day of spring).

    In 2008 the vernal equinox will be on Thursday, March 20. The first full moon after that will be Friday, March 21. Thus, Easter will be on Sunday, March 23.

    The earliest Easter can be is March 22 as it was last in 1818 and will be next in 2285.

    The latest Easter can be is April 25 as it was last in 1943 and will be next in 2038.

    With love in Christ.
