Happy Easter Sunday

By the way, why is Easter Sunday so “early” this year? Via the Royal Museum Greenwich (RMG), “The simple standard definition of Easter is that it is the first Sunday after the full Moon that occurs on or after the spring equinox. If the full Moon falls on a Sunday then Easter is the next Sunday.” This rule of thumb, however, is valid for the determination of the date of Easter in the Western/Catholic liturgical calendar; the date used by Eastern/Orthodox churches can be one, four, or five weeks later!
