Thank you for the reminder that March 22 is the earliest date on which Easter can fall (The Argus, March 22).

The date of Easter in March or April is calculated by the first Sunday after the spring equinox.

The timing of Easter also affects other moveable feasts. Surely the grandees of Church and State could agree on a fixed date for Easter?

It seems odd that this most important of Christian festivals staggers around the calendar like an inebriated bishop.
