No one knows when he was born, killed. Resurrected. We just make.things up and everybody follows. What matters is the celebration.

Before you see the calendar of the year it has been planned by astrologers, they are the one who will fix a day as easter and so on based on the constellation in the stars, that's what the whole world follows

Read about it this morning and here is an excerpt. ''Father Dr Fredrick Njoroge, a chaplain at Moi University’s main campus, explained that since the year 325, Easter Sunday has been timed to occur after March 21. He said the dates were determined by calculations by mathematicians and astrologers sanctioned by the Catholic Church centuries ago. The church, he said, currently knows the date of the annual Easter Sunday until the year 4099. “If Jesus does not come back before 4099, we already have the dates,” Dr Njoroge said. Because of the irregular nature of the moon’s rotation patterns, the full moon can occur in March or April, which explains why Easter dates change from year to year. Next year’s Easter Sunday will be on April 16 while the 2018 one will be on April 1. “Easter can occur as early as March 22 or as late as April 25, which now tells us why sometimes it will fall within April''. 112 Likes 14 Shares |

ifenes:You really need to be enlightened. You have forgotten quickly that the Easter celebration is a three day celebration, starting from Friday, which signifies his crucifixion down to Sunday where he arose from the grave. You would have done yourself a whole lot of good by not posting a picture thing because it is evident you know nothing about the subject matter. 40 Likes 3 Shares |

Pope Gregory XIII. Or at least, the calendar to which he gave his name. Easter is an annual festival observed throughout the Christian world. The date for Easter shifts every year within the Gregorian Calendar. The Gregorian Calendar is the standard international calendar for civil use. In addition, it regulates the ceremonial cycle of the Roman Catholic and Protestant churches. The current Gregorian ecclesiastical rules that determine the date of Easter trace back to 325 CE at the First Council of Nicaea convened by the Roman Emperor Constantine. At that time the Roman world used the Julian Calendar (put in place by Julius Caesar). The Council decided to keep Easter on a Sunday, the same Sunday throughout the world. To fix incontrovertibly the date for Easter, and to make it determinable indefinitely in advance, the Council constructed special tables to compute the date. These tables were revised in the following few centuries resulting eventually in the tables constructed by the 6th century Abbot of Scythia, Dionysis Exiguus. Nonetheless, different means of calculations continued in use throughout the Christian world. Universal adoption of this Gregorian calendar occurred slowly. By the 1700's, though, most of western Europe had adopted the Gregorian Calendar. http://www.theguardian.com/notesandqueries/query/0,5753,-28458,00.html 11 Likes 1 Share |
