It Is well known that Easter Sun day seldom, If over, falls upon tho snmo day of tho month two years In succession. Indeed, It docs not always appear In tho same month, for, whllo It usually comes in .March this year It comes In April. This variation is trncoablo to tho phases of tho moon. Kastor Sunday Is al ways tho first Sunday aftor tho first full moon of spring. As spring boglns on March 21, this means that Easter Sunday never conies earlier than March 21 or later than April 2C.
