If spring is supposed to arrive in March, April is when it finally gets here. Usually. Cross your fingers. It’s a glorious month by most accounts with bright yellow sprays of Forsythia appearing every year to usher in the new season. Maple trees will be among the first to leaf out by month’s end, and if you’re an allergy sufferer, you’ll be well aware!
Are you a baseball fan? The first crack of the bat can be heard at Fenway Park as diehard fans shiver in the stands until May.
And, whether you celebrate Easter or Passover, you’re probably already aware the date for each holiday differs year to year. Why is that? Passover is held on the full moon of the seventh month of the Jewish calendar which begins its new year in late September or October.
Easter’s annual date is also determined by astronomy. Easter Sunday is always the first Sunday following the first full moon, which arrives after the vernal equinox.
