That darn Easter Bunny . . .

is causing me fits! I need more time to get ready for Easter. But I thought this was interesting . . .

Have you realized how early Easter is this year?

As you may have heard, 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.

Based on the above, Easter can actually be one day
earlier (March 22) but that is pretty rare.

Here's the interesting info.

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 have
ever seen it this early (95 years old or above!).
And none of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier!

Here are the facts:

1) The next time Easter will be this early(March 23)
will be the year 2228 (220 years from now).
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!).

2) The next time it will be a day earlier, March
22, will be in the year 2285 (277 years from now).
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!



And if you made it this far . . . here is the best link for you . . . If you are a girl, haven't you always wanted to pee standing up??
