I always thought Easter Sunday was on the first Sunday after the first full moon
after the spring equinox. This year at my location, time zone PDST, the
equinox is at 2:59 pm Wed 20 March 2019. The full moon is about 4 hours
later at 6:43 pm. Why is this Sunday not Easter and Friday not Good Friday.
What about the Passover. It is also a month later. I know setting the date of
Easter was the problem that inspired astronomy but this year the scientific
data and the religious credo do not seem to agree.
Where have I been mislead? (other than finding silly girls posing as sundials)
