We just lived through a historic Easter!

I'm sure ALL of you were so fixated on why Easter was so early this year that you ran to your computers to do some research like me. But in case you didn't...this was the EARLIEST Easter of our lives!! Well, unless you're 95. The last time it fell so early, also on March 23, was in 1913...and it won't again till 2160. It can actually be a day earlier, but I guess that's SUPER rare. And it can be as late as April 25. The timing of the Paschal Full Moon is what actually determines when we universally honor Jesus rising from the dead.

This Earliest In Our Lives thing is pretty nifty...to me, at least. Before I looked it up online just now, I was so intrigued by it on Saturday night that I went through all my daily planners dating back to 1992 (don't you keep all yours?) to see if this year WAS the earliest in at least 17 years. NEVER again will it be this early for us. EVER. That's "fun," no? Savor everything freakish about this March Easter Week!
