The Metal Maniac 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2005 Question: Does anyone actually know why Easter is on different days every year (I assume it's to keep it on Sunday) and how they decide when Easter is going to be held? Do they make it up as they go along? Or is Easter already set for the next 40 years or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alfdogg 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2005 It has something to do with how many Sundays it is from lent or something. Not sure exactly how to explain it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Metal Maniac 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2005 It's the 40th day after Lent begins. but how do they know when Lent begins if Easter is different? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SP-1 Report post Posted January 14, 2005 It's kind of like Thanksgiving. It's more about timing and keeping it within the timeframe of Friday to Sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's no coincidence that the two biggest Christian holidays fall on what were Pagan holidays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but isn't Thanksgiving always on like, the Xth week of the month? Like, the last Friday in October or whatever it is? No, I don't know when Thanksgiving is, fuck off. Easter doesn't seem to follow such a strict pattern; doesn't it happen during like, different months sometimes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sideburnious 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2005 I think it's the way they time the christian year and work out the weeks until they can say easter. They usually get it around the usual time each year though. It's not in fucking January anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
