大师引经据典，佩服佩服
战士责任重， 妇女冤仇深，
那也就是说真正的Easter并不是放假的节日？
终于在复活节前夕停火了！以大湿为首的各路神仙陆续浮出水面，庆祝复活节啦还幸亏yami发帖告知，否则也不知道这里的事
法定假日是Good Friday
先休息一下，请各位民工做干粮， 准备支援前线，
晚上有大战，
红灯高举闪闪亮
照我爹爹打豺狼
祖祖孙孙打下去
打不尽豺狼 决不下战场
复活节的日期有什么讲究吗？
我看每年都是不同的，2016是3/27，2017是4/13，2018是4/1，2019是4/21，前后相差大的几乎有一个月。
Calculating the Easter Date
Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first Full Moon in spring, right? No, that's a myth! It's a little more complicated than that.

Easter falls on the first Sunday after the Full Moon date, based on mathematical calculations, that falls on or after March 21. If the Full Moon is on a Sunday, Easter is celebrated on the following Sunday.
Although Easter is liturgically related to the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere (March equinox) and the Full Moon, its date is not based on the actual astronomical date of either event.
- March 21 is the church's date of the March equinox, regardless of the time zone, while the actual date of the equinox varies between March 19 and March 22, and the date depends on the time zone.
- The date of the Paschal Full Moon, used to determine the date of Easter, is based on mathematical approximations following a 19-year cycle called the Metonic cycle.
Astronomical vs. Ecclesiastical Dates
In years in which the church's March equinox and Paschal Full Moon dates do not coincide with the astronomical dates of these events, confusion about the date of Easter can arise. In 2019, for example, the March equinox in the Western Hemisphere happened on Wednesday, March 20, while the first Full Moon in spring was on Thursday, March 21 in many time zones. If the church followed the timing of these astronomical events, Easter would have been celebrated on March 24, the Sunday after the Full Moon on March 21.
However, the Full Moon date in March specified by the church's lunar calendar, also called the ecclesiastical Full Moon, was March 20, 2019—one day before the ecclesiastical date of the March equinox, March 21. For that reason, the Easter date 2019 is based on the next ecclesiastical Full Moon, which is on April 18. This is why Easter 2019 falls on April 21.

Earliest and Latest Easter Dates
According to the Metonic cycle, the Paschal Full Moon falls on a recurring sequence of 19 dates ranging from March 21 to April 18. Since Easter happens on the Sunday following the Paschal Full Moon, it can fall on any date between March 22 and April 25 (years 1753-2400).
