Topic: Easter date

I just learned this and can't believe I didn't know before...The date for Easter is the first Sunday, after the first full moon, after the Spring Equinox....Who knew?

Re: Easter date

I've always wondered if Easter has ever fallen on April Fools Day. Can you imagine that? wink

Yeah that's one of those formulas I've heard periodically over the years yet for some dumb reason cannot put to memory.  Or at least not in the sense that I could spout it off to you.  But when I hear it I say to myself oh yeah I knew that.  tongue

Really, that's what it's all about? And here I thought it was just a day to have a huge ham and Polish sausage with family members. Who woulda thunk it! smile
