  • WHY IS EASTER DIFFERENT?

    From Jeff Binkley@1:226/600 to Ross Sauer on Sun Apr 4 05:39:00 2010



    I believe it is set based on the First Sunday following the
    first full moon after the Spring Equinox?

    Yup thats it, just googled it..

    Thanks.
    Although it doesn't really makes sense to me.
    Isn't this part of a pagan tradition, that has nothing to do
    with Christianity?

    Considering the various Calendars, it made sense at the time..

    It should not be any sweat off your back.

    It's not. I'm just curious as to the reason.

    Or are you just looking for another reason to bash Christianity ?

    Thats the angle I thought he was shooting for, it must have sapped him of alot of energy for him to have stopped short of a typical bash Christians attack.
