Easter 2010

I had not even thought about when Easter falls in 2010. I don't know why the thought never crossed my mind.

At lunch today with Grandmama and Granddaddy and Aunt Mable and Uncle Loyd, Aunt Mable asked, "When does Easter fall next year?"

So, I googled Easter 2010 to find out. And, this is what I learned. Easter is on April 4th, 2010.

And, the interesting part is this:

"The 2010 Easter Date applies not only to the western calendar (Catholic and Protestant Churches), but also to the The Eastern Orthodox church. This is an unusual event since the two branches of Christianity have different methods for calculating the correct date for Easter. There are only a few years each century when the Easter dates match like this so Easter 2010 is likely to be seen as extra special."

Perhaps we'll have an Easter baby. That would definitely make Easter 2010 extraordinarily special!
