[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 521402, member: 6705"] OK so from how I understand it... Spring Equinox is "set" at March 21. Passover is on the full moon, which doesn't always fall on a Saturday, but is observed on one; so 1 week and 1 day later (minimum 8 days after the full moon if I am guessing right) is Easter. SO, Easter can only fall on March 29, 30 or 31 if it falls in March at all. And the latest it can fall in April is the 26th, based on a lunar calendar that's 28 days. I think. But then again, neither am I Catholic nor an astronomer... [/QUOTE]
