He is risen!

The Formula of the Council of Nicaea

In A.D. 325, the Council of Nicaea set the date of Easter as the Sunday following the paschal full moon, which is the full moon that falls on or after the vernal (spring) equinox. In practice, that means that Easter is always the first Sunday after the first full moon that falls on or after March 21. Easter can occur as early as March 22 and as late as April 25, depending on when the paschal full moon falls.

The other confusing fact is that Eastern Orthodox faiths use the Julian calendar, which calculates differently from the Gregorian calendar we use here in the States, so today is Easter ‘here’, while Easter doesn’t occur until April 3rd…

And if you’re going Easter egg hunting…

Remember these times, because when you get old, you can hide your OWN Easter eggs… Sigh…
