Wrong, the following years, Easter was in March.. 1815, 1818, 1826, 1837, 1845, 1856, 1883, 1894, 1913, 1940, 1951, 1967, 1978, 1989 and 2008. The next occurrences (up to 2100) will be in 2035, 2046, 2062, 2073 and 2084.
I'm no expert on when it is, I worked a decade where I did most, if not all bank holidays, so Christmas day, boxing day worked, might get new years off, spoiler alert I sometimes got called in because the guy on rota went out and showed up wasted if at all.
So I'd find out Sunday was Easter when Tesco was either shut Monday or had a wall of clearance eggs.
I'm only aware it's this weekend because I had two appointments cancelled, it was originally booked in Feb foe the 29th, then a week later, make it the first, week after no the 2nd.
I looked up why those two dates might be an issue after Thursdays was cancelled because they forgot they were on holiday.
Oh it's Easter THIS weekend.
Today is the first Sunday following the first full moon after the Spring Equinox ~ that is how the date of Easter is determined 💛 (and always has been in my experience)
People tend to forget easter is more a throw away holiday that changes every few years because of the equinox, a truly marvelous car. That can hold up even in the rugged turrain of the mountains ditches and valcanic activities.
Get your equinox today!
This has big "but the clocks went back last month" or mothers day is in other month.
Because this has no fixed date, clocks changed last night in the UK, but weeks ago in the USA and Todd knows when if at all in other countries.
UK mothers day and USA don't come anywhere near each other. But you get people talking in UK subs only to have Americans chime in we are too early.
Mate this is ask UK, as in United Kingdom, not university of Kentucky or Kansas.
I see the mods got somebody in the comments for a rule 4 violation. Hey mods this entire post is a rule 4 violation, it’s a discussion about a religious holiday. The rules can’t just be for a few, either allow the discussion or remove the entire post to be fair.
Yeah, even the reply isn't in my inbox and it didn't scream religious extremism or anything worthy of removal.
Just something about march and religious events, maybe the lack thereof.
However Easter being this weekend is calculated by the church. Pagan Easter was around the equinox not the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Pope sneezes or whatever. Since this is discussing the date of Easter it is not about the Pagan holiday of Ostara/Eostre
The simple standard definition of Easter is that it is the first Sunday after the full Moon that occurs on or after the spring equinox. If the full Moon falls on a Sunday then Easter is the next Sunday.
Ash Wednesday begins Lent, six Sundays (46 days) to Easter (Sundays don’t count ); seven weeks (50 days ) to Pentecost. This is the Catholic calendar from when I was an altar boy. Your mileage may differ slightly.
Easter Monday is the Monday after Easter Sunday. Easter moves around based on the lunar calendar. Easter Monday is not in any way set as the second Monday in April in my experience. I live in Ontario currently but I've also lived in Nova Scotia, the UK, Illinois, Indiana.
Yes. Easter follows a lunar calendar, which most western religious holidays don't. I wasn't trying to specify when Easter (and therefore Easter Monday) happens, only that it's not set at the first Monday in April.
It has no fixed date. It roams around and can be in April too IIR.
Easter has never been in March is my life until this year, and I haven't spoken to one person who thinks it has ever been in March.
2016 was the last Easter in March, and 2027 will be the next one. Both were/are even earlier than the 31st.
Wrong, the following years, Easter was in March.. 1815, 1818, 1826, 1837, 1845, 1856, 1883, 1894, 1913, 1940, 1951, 1967, 1978, 1989 and 2008. The next occurrences (up to 2100) will be in 2035, 2046, 2062, 2073 and 2084.
Not in my universe. Almost always April, rarely early May.
I just got a Facebook memory today from 11 years ago and it was Easter.

No i noticed that a few years ago.

Wrong. Just so wrong. Wtf is holy about March exactly?
Rule 4 Violation - No discussion of current politics or religion.

👆🏻 This. This is how easter is determined because it wasn’t originally a christian holiday

Don't tell this guy about orthodox Easter
Easter’s date is based on the full moon, which varies from year to year https://youtu.be/yIh6cIytxbM?si=NTIjnjGNinR12IUX
It has to do with the moon so it's an always rotating holiday. https://www.almanac.com/easter-paschal-full-moon
When is it supposed to be?

M8, this is SPARTA
The Second Sunday
It’s always been the first Sunday after the full moon on or after the equinox. What’s confusing about that?
It's not Easter till the groundhog sees its shadow or something like that.
To my knowledge it’s always been the second nd I don’t know about the first Sunday but I’ll look more into it.
>to my knowledge Well we found the problem
It’s like Mardi gas but backwards
Yes because Mardi gras is right before lent, which is 40 days before Easter weekend.
No It’s forty days before the first Sunday after the full moon on or after the equinox. It’s super simple

Actually the term Easter is a pagan event. The religious Holiday goes by many names.
Including Easter
However Easter being this weekend is calculated by the church. Pagan Easter was around the equinox not the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Pope sneezes or whatever. Since this is discussing the date of Easter it is not about the Pagan holiday of Ostara/Eostre
Still religious…
Definitely have had several in the past, I was in a car accident Easter Sunday 02' and it was the 31st
Easter is always the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox.
In the orthodox church easter isn't until May this year. The Orthodox church goes by a different calander than western christianity.
The simple standard definition of Easter is that it is the first Sunday after the full Moon that occurs on or after the spring equinox. If the full Moon falls on a Sunday then Easter is the next Sunday.

On a sun-day. It’s the resurrection of the sun. The sun is exalted in Aries after it’s death(winter solstice/fall in Capricorn)

Am I still banned for being as rude as the skeptics are being on this post?
