Easter

Easter is a very important time when we are remember Jesus Christ's death and resurrection. We need that in our hearts and minds at all times, but Easter is a special time of remembrance.

Easter Sunday this year is March 23. I was interested to find that this is the earliest that Easter has been since 1913. Easter Sunday will not be March 23 again until 2160! The absolute earliest Easter Sunday can be is March 22 which has not occurred since 1818 and will not happen again until 2285. The latest date for Easter Sunday is April 25 which last occurred in 1943 and will not happen again until 2038. These are based on the current method for determining Easter dates which has had a lot of controversy over the centuries. But the way of selecting the date is not the priority. It is taking a special time to remember what Jesus has done for us.

I am posting this a few days early since we are going away for special church meetings over the Easter weekend. We are really looking forward to that. Have a blessed Easter everyone!
