Coffee Talk: I Should Have Had a V-8

[dash]

if Easter monday was so important then why is it not a national holiday.

also for you religious folks why does easter always fall on different days and not one the actual day he "rose" , I mean his birthday is always on the 25th so why isnt his risen day the same day every year?

It's a combination of the lunar cycle, math, and full moon fever

• Lunar Cycle:
  Easter's calculation is intertwined with the lunar cycle, specifically the full moon that occurs after the spring equinox.
  
  
• Spring Equinox:
  The spring equinox, when the sun crosses the celestial equator, is a key marker in the calendar. While the actual date can vary, the Catholic Church has fixed it as March 21 for the purposes of calculating Easter.
  
  
• First Sunday After:
  Easter is always celebrated on the first Sunday following the full moon that is on or after the ecclesiastical spring equinox (March 21).
  
  
• Mathematical Calculation:
  The date of the Paschal full moon, and therefore Easter, is determined through a mathematical calculation that considers both the lunar cycle and the fixed spring equinox date.

During lent and on good friday.

Yes, Catholics in my family believe eating meat during lent on a Friday is going to send you to hell but not all the other bad shit you've done in your life. That logic befuddles me

befuddle is a great word.

Yeah, BC is puzzling, here on the island, I don't think the Liberals are going to do well either, I think the riding I'm in will go NDP.

Seems to be similar here in Victoria.
