Update: Easter

Update: The Pacific Grove minister gave us some Easter date information.

March 23 is the second earliest date possible -- first Sunday after the first full moon after the first day of spring. The last time it occurred this early was 1913; the next one will be 2160. So, except for still-living people born before March 23, 1913, this is the only March 23 Easter anybody now living will see -- unless, like Ted Williams, you're cryogenically preserved and are thawed out in 2160. I think the last March 22 Easter was in the early 1800s, the next will be in 2200 something.

The latest Easter can be is April 25, next occurring in 2038.

As an EASTERling, I thought you'd like to know.
