Easter

Easter this year falls on April l7'h =
Some curious facts about Easter are that in
1913 the day fell on March 25th, aud will only
once sgsin, in 1894, fall on so early date
In the three following centuries it will occur
only sjsh ttimesonth same date-l95l, 2O35,
eOA7, 2O67, 2l24, 2l25 and 2l9s. The earliest
date on which Easter can fall is March 22nd,
aud this only in case the moon is full on
March 2lst. On the Other hand Easter never
falls later than April 25th.
