Question

Why does easter move about?

Answer

Because it is a religious celebration, and not a civil one.brIt is about tradition,not about to or the stock market.brThe rule was established in A.D., in Niceea, a suburbia of Constantinopolis, the Roman empire capital at the time.brIt happened at the first Ecumenic Council, when bishops around the Mediterranean agreed that Easter will be celebrated according tothe moon calendar. brSo, it is settled that Easter always comes only this way br.After the spring equinox,br.after the first fool moon after the spring equinox,br.right in the first Sunday after the fool moon.brbrHistorically, they the Church calculated that Christ had the Last Supper in Nissan April in the Jewish calendar,and had been crucified in the next day, Nissan.brRessurection in Nissan. brBut the Jewish calendar is also a moon calendar. Their months do not correpsond to our Gregorian Calendar, for they last days, so Nissan is different every new year in parallel to nowadays calendar. brBecause Jews also celebrate Easter,but for a different reason set free from Egiptian slavery, the th century Church decided that we christians should celebrate it at a different day. In that respect, if Jew easter is at the same time with our, the christian will postpone it for the next Sunday.brThere is a subsequent question to this one quotWhy is Easter always a Sunday ?quot brBecause we calculate that Christ was crucified a day before the Sabbat Saturday, so it was a Friday, and He ressurected the rd day after stfriday,ndsaturday,rdSunday.brWe should remember that Easter is still a moon calendar celebration, so it will always move around, becouase the moon has a days cycle, and our contemporary Gregorian calendar is based on a days cycle.brAs mentioned before, this difference comes from the decision of early Church to make a straight difference between the Jew Sabbat and the Christian Easter, which celebrates the Ressurection of Christ.brWe should also remember that we celebrate Ressurection every Sunday, at the Communion, for Christ is always here amongst us.brHappy Easter
