Easter  this year is: Sunday March 23, 2008

. As you may know, Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full 
moon after the Spring Equinox (which is March 20).

. This dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that Hebrew 
people used to identify Passover, which is why it moves around on our 
Roman calendar.

22) but that is pretty rare.

This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of

it this early

it a day earlier! Here are the facts:

. 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 
(so if you're
95 or older, you are the only ones that were around for that!).

alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year!
