Just was wondering why sometimes easter falls in late march, sometimes in april. This year it falls on the 20th of april. I heard because its due to the lunar calendar. can anyone confirm this?
Kinda makes you think when the #1 rapper is white and the #1 golfer is black

it's not lunar, because passover is, and that fluctuates more than easter does......... just an interesting tidbit for you the last supper was actually a passover seder(ceremony) so easter should technically fall the sunday during passover, but it doesn't. go figure.

It's the first Sunday after the first moon after the vernal equinox. Tonight is a full moon, the vernal equinox is the 21st. So, the Sunday after a month from tonight is Easter.

Yeees, I seem to recall that the fertility festival devoted to Astarte goes back to Babylonian times.

And as we all know that when Jesus was resurrected, he came back as a bunny and was hankerin' for an omlette. Hence, the bunnies and eggs.
