Why Does Easter Fall On
a Particular Sunday?
By: Jason Cunningham (4/10/2006)
Easter Sunday is fast
approaching. While the Christian community will celebrate the Resurrection of
Jesus Christ next Sunday, there are only a handful of people who know why Easter
falls on a particular Sunday. Believe me, it is a shocker if you do not already
know this seemingly important fact.
Most people in Church have no
idea what determines when Easter occurs each year. They just are aware of the
beginning and ending of Lent. In actuality, the moon determines when Easter
Sunday occurs. I am not kidding. Easter Sunday fall on the first Sunday
after the full moon, following the Spring Equinox.
