Sunday Trivia: Answer

Well, you all assumed, that Art hit this one on the head in the first response to the question - and he was remarkably close, but just a little off. March 23rd is the second earliest calendar date possible for Easter. Easter is, as many of you know, based on the Lunar calendar (rather than the solar calendar, which is the basis for our calendar) and falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring equinox.

Easter last fell on March 23 in 1913. The last time it fell on March 22 was 1818.

Art had correct that Easter will fall on March 23rd in 2228 - however, it will be on the 23rd one other time before then, in 2160. It will not be not fall on March 22 until 2285. (This site lists all the dates of Easter from 1700-2299).

Tip of the hat to Hal for sending me this info.
