Post by: Wizard on April 01, 2010, 08:17:33 am

Roxy Let Wizard explain how to work out when it will be Easter.
Easter falls on the Sunday following the Vernal Equinox (March 21st) If the full moon falls on that Sunday Easter Sunday is the following Sunday.Sunday March 28th.So it can be any Sunday between March 28th and April 25th (4 weeks) Not a lot of folk know this :D :farmer:

I did wonder why Easter can be  different dates - where as we always celebrate Christmas on 25th December.  Thanks for enlightening us Wizard!!
