I wish you all the best this Easter! This is the earliest Easter anyone now living will experience. Easter, a moveable holiday, is set for the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox.<\/p>\n

The Vernal Equinox (First Day of Spring) occurred on Thursday, March 20. The full moon occurred the next day, Friday, March 21. Thus, today is March 23, Easter Sunday. None of us living on this date will experience an Easter this early again in our lives.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, I visited Filoli in Woodside, California to take some photographs, because the tulips have begun to bloom there.<\/p>\n
