Easter Sunday.

The popular understanding OF the
determination OF Easter is that It IL
the first Sunday after the first fun
moon after the vernal equinox. This.
although the theory, must be taken
with modification in actual practice.
because ecclesiastical dictum likes
the vernal equinox invariably on the
2lst of March, though this may not
be the astronomical fact; because the
full moon is fixed at the 18th day and
because the beginning OF the Paschai
moon Is determined by the table OF
epacts. which only approximate the
fact Usually the astronomical and
ecclesiastical calculations agree sum
GENTLY that the day is the same, but
the contrary has happened.
