Happy Easter
Easter already??
First of all, it feels like just yesterday was Christmas.
Second of all, Easter is the earliest most of us will ever see! Heres some interesting facts I received in an e-mail....
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!
I thought that was pretty interesting!Well, hopefully everyone had a great Easter weekend. Unfortunately mine didn't go as well as planned. I ended up coming down with a nasty cold on Friday (which I happened to have off) and have been sick since then. We did manage to make it out to Phipps Friday afternoon, but other than that I've been chilling at home trying to get better.
Hopefully I'll find some time this week to post some of the photos from Phipps' Spring Show. So check back soon!
