A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE!
EASTER 2008
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 part.
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 are 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 this 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!
Happy Spring, Happy Full Moon Everyone!

Hello! Have you met everyone? How do you absoulutely know that there is no one alive today that will not be alive 277 years from now? After all, according to the Bible and ancient knowledge, people have lived far longer than 277 years. It's been proven by Dr. Emoto (do your research) that our thoughts and words transform water. Humans, all life, and the earth, are mostly water, therefore we are God creating our reality through our thoughts and words. I hope anyone who reads this looks up Dr. Emoto's research and stops and really questions what this means: It means WE ARE GOD CREATING REALITY. So, the more we believe that anything is possible, the more it becomes so. CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS UNITE! WE ARE ONE! I hope you all choose to think outside the box (HELLAVISION), and do your own research. Humans are far more magnficent and miraculous than this "reality" society has chosen. I plan on being around 277 years from now . . . . maybe not in this body . . . . as an ascended being of pure love and light . . . . just like Jesus teaches . . . . "May it be done on earth as it is in heaven." Easter is Everyday! Earth Day is everyday! Boycott Babylon! Go Green Everything and Bless Everyone! See you all Easter Sunday at 10 a.m. at Libbey Park. Easter, the Goddess of the Dawn, shall be there to shine her light and reveal what's been hidden: The Naked Truth. P.S. www.EARTHFRIENDJEN.com coming soon!

Thank you Jen, I stand corrected.
Anything is possible... especially in Ojai!
For all I know, there are Himalayan Masters living on air (Breatherians) who are thousands of years old.
You'll be glad to know I don't own a "hellavision"

Suza,
Thanks for posting this info. I've always wondered how the date for Easter came about. Also, since my birthday is on March 20th, I've always wondered why it fluctuates between the 20th/21st? Many years ago I found an encyclopedia explanation of why it most often falls on the 20th, but, unfortunately, I didn't copy it and now as the years have passed by, I can't remember. Maybe you know?

P.S. I had the rare opportunity (for me) to see the sunrise on my birthday. It was breathtaking! The full moon on my birthday evening was also sooo beautiful. A special day just for me!

Happy Happy Birthday Blessings to you, Coleen!
What an auspicious day to celebrate with all the Full Moon energy beaming down on you... and the Earth energy of spring under your feet!
Our lives are truly interconnected. I learned a great deal in those few moments we met (again) and spoke briefly in person at last Sunday's Ojai Peace Coaltion event. I admire your activism in the world.
PS If I find out the answer to your question above, will let you know.

Coleen, I just reread your question:
"I've always wondered how the date for Easter came about. Also, since my birthday is on March 20th, I've always wondered why it fluctuates between the 20th/21st?"
Maybe I better clarify what you are asking. By "it" I don't think you mean yor birth date, (unless you were born exactly at midnight!) I think you mean the Vernal (spring) Equinox. Is that right?

Actually, the spring and fall equinoxes are not really days, but moments.... they represent the precise moment when the sun is directly overhead at the equator....
From our perspective here on Earth, it seems like the sun must be directly over the equator lots of times, maybe a couple of times a day.... but in fact it is not.... it is directly over the equator only on those two moments each year....
It is all due to the fact that the Earth's axis of daily rotation is tilted by about 21 degrees from the plane of its rotation around the sun...
Anyway, Earth's axis of daily rotation also has a little wobble in it.... and that is why the moment of the spring equinox sometimes falls on March 20, and sometimes on March 21.....

And the exact moment that the sun passed over the equator this year, on its way to northern latitudes was at 10:48 pm on Wednesday March 20th (Ojai time).

Thank you, Lauren.... I was wondering about that.
Where do you learn these fine points?
