Trump tariff mathIt'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.
