Easter Sunday comes this year on the
23rd Of April. This is within few days
as late as it ever occurs. Only once did
it occur as late as the 25th of April in the
10th century. 1t is booked to come but
once again on the 25th of April during
the present century. There is current
belief with the people that late Easter
denotes cold and backward spring. But
this does not always follow, since the
season, in the presence of late Easter,
may be mild and open.
