Happy Easter Everyone!

Written by Shuga babe from the blog Ezasezulwini on 25 Mar 2009
Favourite this post

We left with few Days to Easter Holidays!
I know its still early but, From now on I will be very busy; I won’t have time to wish u all happy Easter. that's why i grabbed this opportunity to write this article.

Most of the people when talking about Easter Holidays, they think of having Parties,Weddings, good times etc
But this Easter 2009, I would like all of us to think of one MAN his name is JESUS. He died for us, To set us free! To wash all our sins away!

Even if u not going to church but remember there’s a man who loved us so much that he sent his only son to die for us. That man is GOD.
Some of us are going to be at home
Some of us are going to churches
Some of us are working (me included)
Some of us are getting married
Some of us are going on holidays with their loved ones
Some of us are going to Parties

Whatever you do please remember, that you are who you are because of him.

I would like to pray for all of us, especially those who’ will be using Roads during Easter holydays.
Our father! we thank u Lord for everything that we have, we thank u 4 our beautiful children, friends and families. We thank u for the Blessings.
We invite u in the name of Jesus to guide us and pour your spirit upon us. Please Lord there must be no accidents this Easter holydays. We love u Lord. Let us be reminded that you sent your son to die for us because you love us so much. Let us walk, eat and speak your name. In the name of Jesus I pray for those who are sick to feel better. pray the Lord!. Our father Please be with us now oh Lord. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holly spirit Amen.

I leave u with this word of God from Luke 24:5-6
“In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee:” 

Have you ever wondered why Easter dates are different each year, while Christmas and other national public holidays are set in stone?
"It’s a complicated system that dates back to 325 AD, when astronomers approximated full moon dates for the Christian church, calling them Ecclesiastical Full Moon (EFM) dates. Easter is always celebrated on the first EFM date, which is after 20 March, each year!"

Have a Super Dooper, Wonderful, Fabulous, Fantastic and Great Holidays!Enjoy the Easter Eggs!! lol
 
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!!!!

Reasons why easter is celebrated on different date:
Modern-day Easter is derived from two ancient traditions: one Judeo-Christian and the other Pagan. Both Christians and Pagans have celebrated death and resurrection themes following the Spring Equinox for millennia. Most religious historians believe that many elements of the Christian observance of Easter were derived from earlier Pagan celebrations.

The equinox occurs each year on March 20, 21 or 22. Both Neopagans and Christians continue to celebrate religious rituals linked to the equinox. Wiccans and other Neopagans usually hold their celebrations on the day or eve of the equinox. Western Christians celebrate Easter on the Sunday on or after the full moon that follows the nominal date of the Equinox -- MAR-21. The Eastern Orthodox churches follow a different calculation; their Easter celebration is often many weeks after the date selected by the Western churches. 

heres more interesting ideas;

How the date of Easter is determined:
It is important to realize that Easter is not celebrated at the anniversary of Jesus' death and reported resurrection. The year of his execution is unknown; estimates range from 29 to 33 CE. And so, the anniversaries of the actual events go unobserved year by year.

Easter Sunday falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon after MAR-20, the nominal date of the Spring Equinox. Many sources incorrectly state that the starting date of the calculation is the actual day of the Equinox rather than the nominal date of MAR-20. Other sources use an incorrect reference date of MAR-21.

A little known fact is that the timing of the full moon is based upon the Metonic Cycle, a method of calculating the date of the full moon known to the ancient Greek astronomer Meton, who lived in the 5th century BCE. This calculation is only approximate; it occasionally diverges from the actual astronomical data. 5 For example, in the year 2019, the date of Easter according to a precise astronomical calculation would be MAR-24. However, the Western Church will observe it on APR-21. 6

Easter Sunday in the West can fall on any date from March 22 to April 25th. The year-to-year sequence is so complicated that it takes 5.7 million years to repeat. Eastern Orthodox churches sometimes celebrate Easter on the same day as the rest of Christendom. However if that date does not follow Passover, then the Orthodox churches delay their Easter - sometimes by over a month. To make matters more complex, most Eastern Orthodox churches use the Julian Calendar which is currently offset by 12 days from the more generally used Gregorian Calendar.

Some dates related to Easter are celebrated on the following dates 9 by the Roman Catholic and Protestant churches:
