I don't think I'd like that because, where I live, we'd end up having snow on Easter about half the time. I'd like having Easter on the third Sunday of April or something like that.

The timing of Easter, each year

Well it's kind of nice to know the day is marked by nature itself.
It just sort of illustrates to me once again how ridiculous our need for "holy days" is.
Each and every day is just another day in the years cycle.
Sure we can see things there,
in nature itself,
but to "attatch" these "holy day of obligation" rituals to them ...
well there's just something so contrived about it all.
Funny, all those years right in the heart of the liturgy loop
as a RC church musician, and I never thought to ask...
while at the same time they never bothered to mention.
Perhaps concepts like feast days ordered around things like vernal equinoxes
sounds just a bit too "new agey" for the conservative set.
Why it's almost pagan!

I'd sure like to see Easter given a fixed date, like Christmas. But then, who cares what I think?
This is easy enough to remember: when Good Friday arrives, it's nearly Easter time.

Or if you need more advance notice, and you don't belong to a church that observes Lent or any of the other traditional pre-Easter customs, you can just notice when every store has prominent displays of Cadbury Creme Eggs.The Great Architect

that's true. But they put them in so early.
