7:20 A.M. Pacific Time Sunday, April 20th, 2014 to 10:00 P.M. Pacific Time Monday, April 21st, 2014.
Today is Easter, and is part of an entire Christian Easter season! Because the date of Easter changes every year, which is called a moveable feast, the date of Easter can be confusing. To know when Easter will occur, you need to know the time of the first full moon following the vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere! Easter will be the first Sunday following that full moon. Thus, Easter can occur somewhere from March 22nd to April 25th each year. On today's quest, let's take a look at the important Christian holiday of Easter!<BR><BR>
Your reward for completing this quest will be 1,000 credits, and an Easter Pin 2014!<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>
