Toruń Eastern



Like this an Easter table may look like.

Eastern is celebrated on the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon.

It requires a complicated calculation to predict when Eastern will fall.
That’s why it is easier to say that Eastern falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring.
Next year, in 2010, it will be the 4th of March.
He….. that’s not after March 21 when spring starts!
That's right. At March 21 starts the astronomic spring. The calculation of Eastern however is based on the meteorological calendar and that means that spring is from March 1 till the end of May.
