And Happy Easter to all those celebrating it this week.

Fuck, how many times is he gonna come back from the dead!?

Shit, the Messiah is actually Jason!

I remember something something about 3 days, never heard of a 7 days delay....

I can't wait until I get to celebrate Easter in 23 days!

Happy Easter, ZFR! (Julian Easter?)

I don't know if Easter eggs are part of your tradition, but I've asked Cadbury to ship you a <span class="bold">giant one</span>! :-)

The orthodox Easter is today indeed...Love the discrepancies....

P.S.: thanks for the wishes, gogers.

Happy easter, especially for Ukraine in those hard times...

When do the Chinese have their Easter then? Midsummer?

Whenever I go to Thailand, I feel like I'm traveling to the future. Suddenly it is the year 2556 or some crazy shit like that.

In China though, I presume the start of the Terminator movie went something like this:

"What date is it? THE YEAR?!?"

- "Dog's."

It's more complicated than that. Part of the discrepancy is due to the differences between Julian and Gregorian calendar, and part due to calculations of the moon phase.

Google can give you all the little details about the calculations. Interesting read if you're into that. The difference is either 0, 1, 4 or 5 weeks. The western Easter is more "astronomically" correct, while the Eastern always comes after Passover, so it's more "religiously" correct.

Having parents from 2 different backgrounds, we generally celebrate both. And yes, Easter eggs are there, so thanks :)

Thanks for the clarifications! ;-)  I've checked on <span class="bold">Wikipedia</span>, and it's clearly explained...

Learning something each day...

Oh My Buddha...
