Easter this year was Sunday, March 23.
Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the Spring Equinox (which occurred on March 20 this year). Easter can be one day earlier (March 22) but that is pretty rare.
This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see. Only people now 95 or older have ever celebrated Easter this early. And none of us alive today will ever, see it a day earlier!
Here are the facts:
The last time Easter fell on March 23 was 1913.
The next time Easter will be this early will be the year 2228 -- 220 years from now.
The last time Easter fill on March 22 was 1818.
The next time will be in the year 2285, in 277 years.
Throw in early Daylight Savings Time, and it's no wonder I'm so discombobulated!
