If you think Easter is early this year, you are correct!

Traditionally, Easter Sunday occurs on the first Sunday after the full moon after the Spring Equinox, which is March 20 each year.

According to snopes.com, which purges rumors from fact:

“This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of our lives! And only the most elderly of our population (95 years old or above) have ever seen it this early. None of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier. The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year 2228 (220 years from now). The last time it was this early was 1913. The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22, will be in the year 2285 (277 years from now). The last time it was on March 22 was 1818. So, no one alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year. March 22 is the earliest Easter can be.”

Many remember Easter as their first beach trip of the year. Obviously, some Easters were warmer than others. Probably no one reading this article has ever experienced an Easter this early!
