92 year old lady says "No" to thief......how the Easter date is determined....

I think you will agree this sweet lady knows our Heavenly Father very intimately............

Interesting information pertaining to how the Easter date is chosen..........Thanks, Kay.........



Do you realize how early Easter is this year? It's
March 23! As you may know, 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 in date on our Roman based
calendar.

I found out a couple of things you might be interested
in!

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's the facts:

1) The next time Easter 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!
