知道吗？像今年这么早的复活节 这辈子再也遇不到了！

复活节总是在过了春分（3月20号）第一个满月之后的头一个星期天。因为复活节是按照农历计算（犹太人是用农历来算Passover），所以每年的日期都有变化。

有趣的是，今年的复活节是我们大家在有生之年能够遇到的最早的复活节！只有长寿的老前辈（95岁以上！）曾见过这么早的复活节。我们大家今生今世是再也遇不到了！

看看日历：

1）下一个这么早的复活节（3月23号）将是在2228年，也就是220年之后。上一次这么早的复活节是1913年。

2）再下一次早的复活节（更早一天），3月22号，将是2285年，那是277年以后的事了。再上一次3月22号的复活节是1818年。

有点意思吧？

俺这么说是有根有据的。如果同事寄来的Email有错那也就怪不得俺了。

Easter 2008
A once in a lifetime experience!

Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the Spring Equinox (which is March 20). This dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that Hebrew people used to identify passover, which is why it moves around on our Roman calendar.

Here's the interesting info. This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of our lives! And only the most elderly of our population have ever seen it this early (95 years old or above!). And none of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day 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 th is 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!
