Thread Name: BS: Why the huge gap between Easters?
Subject: RE: BS: Why the huge gap between Easters?
The Eastern and Western vernal equinoxes are indeed on different days this year, as they are calculated by a different formula, neither of which are the same as the observable astronomical equinox. So that's why the Easter dates are sometimes different for different churches.
