Do you realize how early Easter is this year? As you may know, Easter is always the 1st
Sunday after the1st 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.

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's 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!
