Flying Pig Watch

January 13, 2008

My birthday is on 13th March, this year for the first time that I remember, it will fall just before the Easter holidays, I never remember it being so early in my youth. This led me to look up the dates of Easter over the years, I found a chart which gave all the Easter dates between 1875 and 2124.

This year Easter Sunday falls on the 23rd of March, apparently it is technically possible that it could fall on the 22nd, the earliest possible date, but this hasn’t happened during this period.
It will fall (or has fallen) on the 23rd just twice, this year and 1913, the year before the start of the great war!
Mind you, it has only fallen once on 24th of March , in 1940, certainly a day for watching out for flying pigs and a night for checking the sky for a blue moon.
But be vigilant, this year’s occurrence is sufficiently rare for us all to keep a watch for these two phenomena on this Easter Sunday.
