Have a Happy Easter, friends. It is the second most celebrated Christian holy day, and arguably should be the most celebrated.
Peculiarly, the date Easter happens depends on a conjunction between the calendar and the phases of the moon, so it wanders around between March and April. Why? Tradition, of course.
The actual calendar date could be calculated but would then not fall on a Sunday every year, Christmas does not. Easter falling on Sunday is deemed essential, it appears.
Anyway, Easter is Christianity’s spring celebration, just as Christmas is its winter festival. This year Easter falls on the last day of the third month; tonight at midnight one quarter of 2024 will be in the history books.
