Specifically, during the Council of Nicaea, the Western church agreed Easter would be celebrated the Sunday following the first full moon in spring (after the Vernal Equinox). Currently, however, Easter's date sometimes misses the lunar cycle mark . To be thorough, the Western Church created a table of future Easter dates by projecting full moons. These projections no longer match actual full moon dates, but we still use the Ecclesiastical Full Moon projections to determine Easter's Date.   We can thank Germany for the Easter bunny? While no one is comp

Palm Sunday, a day when throngs of people gathered to welcome their savior, abounds in JOY, yet it comes with a shadow. We know by week's end Jesus undergoes crucifixion. We know it was people like us that voted for Him to die. We know what it means to blame our failed expectations on a meek and humble savior. While a solemn time of reflection, consider the sacrifice He willingly made on your behalf. He would do it again if it were only for you and that, my friends, should bring you great JOY.

Because it lacks a physical presence, its beauty is unique to every beholder . The arc, shape, and width of bands all vary person to person.  A rainbow is a complete circle? You can observe circular rainbows from airplanes . You can never reach the end of a rainbow?  A rainbow's existence is dependent on the position of the observer. So, when you move, the rainbow will move . There is mathematical precision

The previous calendar's (Julian) New Year began on the spring equinox, which occurs around April 1st. So, those who continued celebrating the New Year on the last week of March through April first were called April fools. The original prank was a paper fish plastered to your back?
