Subject: RE: happy? – Mar 1 (Rody MacCorly hanged)
Easter is the Sunday nearest to,rather than after,the vernal equinox.
This still does not allow for 1st March being Good Friday.
Not certain when Ireland switched from Julian to Gregorian calendar.
Might that be a factor?
Is it possible that the Good Friday date was to draw a comparison with somebody else executed on Good Friday?
