It does to me.
Everything is happening so early. Easter is celebrated very early this year. Mardi Gras was extremely early. My mother even said that her birthday is NEVER the same week as Easter.
So I researched the question a little bit.
The Christian celebrations of Lent and Easter are determined by the lunar year; Easter traditionally falls the first Sunday following the first full moon after the Spring Equinox. I did know that. This year, all of these occurances take place during the same week in March, with Easter falling on the 23rd. This is a rare occurance, I learned; indeed, Easter has not fallen so early as March 23rd since 1913. Woodrow Wilson was President. Lent that year began on February 5 (this year February 6 due to it being a leap year).
Easter will not occur this early again until we are all gone from this Earth, in the year 2160.
In case Alex ever were to ask that on Jeopardy!, you are now prepared.

Now that is interesting. Couple that with the fact that the optimum temperature for snowfall is 22 degrees and we're ready to play. :)
ResponderEliminarHappy Day Mapi.
Even though we should be relishing in the fact that this is the last time to experience an event on a given day....I am SO READY for Spring...I just can't wait! This has been a particularly brutal winter so far..any facts about that?...or is it just my imagination because I want it to end. LOL Stay warm and stay safe.

Hello, Z: I'm ready to bet it all on the Daily Double if you'll partner with me!
ResponderEliminarHello, Val: We hit 74 one day last week and had an ice storm this week. This toying with my timeclock is just killing me. Even though we haven't had the snowfall that we could have to make it exceptionally brutal here, I have felt this winter harder than most, perhaps most due to my emotional state. I am ready to plunge my hands into the moist Spring soil and start getting gardens green again. That is my best soul therapy.
Hello, Piercing: I had a couple of classes today to teach and, otherwise, got to relish in the attentions of my darling babies. It was the best way I could think of spending my day...and I try to do that as often as possible!
Be well, y'all...
