» pink101 - Early Easter

.
Easter this year is: Sunday March 23 remember this date!!!
.
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 on our Roman calendar.
.

Here are a couple of things you might be interested in!
.
Based on the above, Easter can actually only be one (1) day earlier -
March 22, but that is pretty rare.
.
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 (95 years old or above!)
have ever seen it this early.
.
None of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier!
.

Here are the facts:
.

The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year
2228 - 220 years from this year!!
.
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!.
.
The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22, will be in the year
2285 - 277 years from this year.
.
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!
.

I received the above information in an email. I don't know if it is accurate or not.
.
And, yesterday is kind of rare as February 29th only appears on our calendar once every four years.
