I’m not a fan of these holidays that just randomly change dates. At least with Thanksgiving, you can count four Thursdays, but Easter is always so weird. Start at the spring equinox, then wait for a full moon, then count backwards from 100 while spinning in a circle, then point to a Sunday, and that’s it.

Date of **WHICH** Easter Sunday?
Because there are two. And this year, they coincide, so nobody knows which one you’re talking about.

Interesting! Is there something like this but for Thanksgiving? I’ve always been curious about this.

One of my kids was born on December 25, and the other was born on March 31. Not Easter that year, but several times throughout life we have Christmas/Easter babies.
