Hi everybody!
The moon is now quite full, annnouncing the arrival of Easter. Many people do not know how the date of Easter is decided, so I thought I would share it. In western (non-Orthodox) Christianity, Easter is the first Sunday, after the first full moon, after the first day of the astrological month of Aries.
I find it fascinating that the date of Easter is astrologically determined. I remember the time when a fundamentalist Christian told me that the 12 astrological signs are the signs of the devil. I said nothing, but laughed to myself how this person was insulting astrology, when astrology determines the date of one of their biggest holidays.
