Re: Do you know the answer?
That is correct in fact it...
Earliest Easter You Will See In Your Lifetime
In the present calendar, the date for Easter shifts every year. The holiday will occur no earlier than March 22 and no later than April 25.The date of Easter is determined as being the first Sunday following the first full moon (also known as the Paschal full moon) that occurs on or after the day of the vernal equinox (spring).
The first day of spring is March 20th.
The full Paschal (also known as the full worm moon) is on March 21st, thus Easter Sunday is on March 23rd, 2008.
Earliest Easter since 1913!
The last time Easter was celebrated on March 23rd was 95 years ago in 1913!
The Next Time?
Easter will not be this early again until the year 2228!
One day earlier!
In 2285 - Easter will be one day earlier - the earliest it can ever be - March 22nd!
Next year Easter will be on April 12th.
So enjoy! This will be the Earliest Easter you will ever celebrate.
