Three Weeks Away- Already???

Three weeks from tomorrow is Easter. Why, it seems like Christmas was only....

Yes, this is early. Very early. It is actually the earliest anyone under 95 has ever seen it.

Easter can actually be one day earlier (March 22) but that is pretty rare. Here's the interesting info. This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of our lives! And none of us (under 95) have ever, or will ever, see it this early or earlier! Here's the facts:

1) 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!).

2) The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22, will be in the year 2285 (277 years from now). The last time it was on March 22 was 1818. So, no one alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year!

By the way, the odds are better for a late Easter. April 25 is the latest possible date. That last occurred only 65 years ago in 1943. It will happen again in only 30 years- 2038.
