This Sunday is Easter, and if it seems like it's late this year, it is. Easter is the first full moon after the spring equinox, pegged as March 21st, according to ecclesiastical rules. The first full moon after the equinox this year is April 21st.
That's not the latest Easter can be, but only by a few days. The latest date it can fall on is April 25th, which won't happen again until 2038. Conversely, the earliest possible date is March 22nd, which won't happen until 2285. Those are according to the Gregorian Calendar, by the way.
It's also a long weekend, since Good Friday is tomorrow, and I'm more than ready for a mini-holiday.
Happy Easter!
