A good friend introduced me to a little site that’s keeping me up late. www.etsy.com. All things handmade from all over the world. I think it took me 15 minutes to add 36 items to my shopping cart. Buy local. Buy earth-friendly. Buy novelty. This site has it all.
Happy hunting.
Easter is coming to us very early this year.
Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the Spring Equinox (March 20). This dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that the Hebrew culture 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 rare. Here’s the interesting part: This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of our lives. Only the most elderly of our population have ever seen it this early (95 years old or above). None of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier!
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. 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!
ENJOY!
