Celebration Easter
How to decide/know when Easter is
This is a problem for most folks who don’t know how to look at a calendar and read. That’s what I usually do.
However, every year I still wonder, when’s Easter going to be this year?
Believe it or not, the U.S. Naval Observatory, among others, has an opinion on when Easter will fall each year.
And the opinion differs on whether or not you are going by the Gregorian Calendar or by the astronomical Full Moon for the meridian of Jerusalem. Huh?
The end result is that in the West, those who use the Gregorian calendar, the celebration of Easter is one week different from when it is celebrated in the East where they go by the Julian calendar.
If you’d like to be thoroughly confused, details here.
For those who like to plan ahead –
The following are dates of Easter from 1980 to 2024:
1980 April 6 1995 April 16 2010 April 4 1981 April 19 1996 April 7 2011 April 24 1982 April 11 1997 March 30 2012 April 8 1983 April 3 1998 April 12 2013 March 31 1984 April 22 1999 April 4 2014 April 20 1985 April 7 2000 April 23 2015 April 5 1986 March 30 2001 April 15 2016 March 27 1987 April 19 2002 March 31 2017 April 16 1988 April 3 2003 April 20 2018 April 1 1989 March 26 2004 April 11 2019 April 21 1990 April 15 2005 March 27 2020 April 12 1991 March 31 2006 April 16 2021 April 4 1992 April 19 2007 April 8 2022 April 17 1993 April 11 2008 March 23 2023 April 9 1994 April 3 2009 April 12 2024 March 31
Or, you can just make a point of it to buy a calendar each year and look in March in April to see where it is.
