Happy Easter!
If you've ever wondered about how the date for Easter is determined each year, the following are the ecclesiastical rules used.'
* Easter must be on a Sunday
* This Sunday must follow the 14th day of the paschal moon
* It is the paschal moon when its 14th day, or full moon, falls on or next follows the day of the vernal equinox
* The equinox is fixed in the calendar as March 21
In case you're interested in the amazing number of Easter traditions which have their origins in pagan customs, take a peek at this site. Whatever you're doing today, I hope your day is filled with sunshine and the nearness of loved ones.
