Subject: RE: Happy St Georges day
Craig, you are sort of right - in fact the rule is that if St George's Day falls before Easter Sunday, it gets moved to Easter Monday. So, with Easter Sunday past, the rule does not apply here. On the other hand, as any (Greek or Russian) Orthodox Christian will tell you, "proper" Easter Sunday is the coming one (27th April), and so St George's Day should be the 28th this year, and indeed that is when I will be celebrating my nameday, and as it's Monday, I will of course be at Herga. Come and buy me a drink for my nameday!
