~the most important and oldest festival of the Christian Church, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ and held (in the Western Church) between March 21 and April 25, on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the northern spring equinox.
~the period in which Easter occurs, especially the weekend from Good Friday to Easter Monday.
~a feast that commemorates Christ's resurrection and is observed with variations of date due to different calendars on the first Sunday after the paschal full moon.
A festival.
A feast.
A celebration!
I like those. They are fitting for the most important event in history.
I never took the time to understand why Easter fell on a different day every year. I always kind of wished they’d pick a day and keep it consistent.
So, it has to do with an equinox and a full moon. I find things like this interesting. I usually just do what I’ve always done for things like this. Scratch my head like everyone else and ask, “When is Easter this year?”
Though now that I know how it’s determined when Easter is, I don’t pay that much attention to when there’s a full moon, so I’ll still probably scratch my head and ask, “When’s Easter this year?”
New Release:
COURTING HER AMISH HEART is a contemporary romance, the first in the Prodigal Daughters series.
A doctor or an Amish wife? She can choose to be only one…
Kathleen Yoder comes home after fourteen years in the Englisher world. Practicing medicine means sacrifice—no Amish man will want a doctor for a wife. Widowed Noah Lambright offers a cottage as her new clinic, seeing how much Kathleen’s skills can help their community. But as their friendship deepens, could love and family become more than a forbidden dream?
