Easter this year is:Sunday March 23rd 2008 As you may know Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the spring equinox (Which is March 20th) The dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that Hebrew peoples 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)however this 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 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: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!). The next time it will be a day earlier March 22 will be in the year 2285 (277years 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 then this year!Pretty neat eh?"Happy Easter To All"

Happy Easter to you. Thanks for sharing all those facts about the timing of Easter. As my birthday is at the start of April I am always interested to see if Easter falls before, after or - as it has in some years - on my actual birthday.
