Easter Facts?

Because Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after
the Spring Equinox.
This year the Spring Equinox is at 05:48 on Thursday, March 20 and there
is a full moon on Friday March 21st.
Therefore, this year Easter is on March 23. The next time Easter will be
this early will be in the year of our Lord 2160 (152 years from now).
The last time Easter was this early was in 1913 (95 year ago).

So, this year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see!

Note: Easter can occur one day earlier than this year. In the years 1818
and 2285 Easter was/is on March 22.
