| Hi Harmony
The dates for Easter are 25th March=good friday and 28th March=Easter Monday.
Schools in Oxford/Bedfordshire are having those days as a break and then returning to school until Friday 1st April (no fooling) so the following two weeks, 2nd April to 16th April,will also be peak dates for the Easter break.Some other regions are still following the usual format and have the regular easter break.

| | Jeff, a lot of schools will have gone through the reorganisation by this time, so will not be in aposition to provide accurate term dates just yet. However, most schools will not be affected by this, so you should be able to get a good idea by looking at council websites. |

| I sympathise with you Sarah!! We had to get married in school Easter holidays or else wait until the Summer holidays. When we booked our registry office wedding 18 years ago we had to take a Wednesday because all the other popular days had gone already. We told the registrar that we wanted it to be between certain dates. She just looked at us and said "Not another Teacher wedding"!!
I hope that you have a wonderful wedding in Florida.

| Ours in Medway and Kent will be the usual 2 weeks over Easter next year with the planned 2 week (first 2 full weeks of April) not being introduced until 2006 as the new school calendar doesn't start till Sept 2005.
Unfortunatley they've still kept one week in October when we were hoping for a bit more flexibility if they had 2 then. |

| | Schools in Essex next year will be having Good Friday & Easter Monday off followed by a 2 week spring break starting Mon. 11th April (2 weeks later).Flight prices seem very expensive for this period,much more than we paid for this Easter, so I think the Airlines have cottoned on to it. |

| For those of you who like to plan ahead , I believe most councils have already set their 2005/6 dates. I work for an LEA in Berkshire and we certainly have .
For the record we break up on Friday 31st March 2006 and return on Tuesday 18th April. We aren't doing the 6 term year yet. Easter Sunday is 16th April.
Iif you really like to plan ahead - here are the Easter Sunday dates for the next 95 years! ( I won't bother with the next 200 years after that , but if Mickey Mouse keeps you young , you never know.... )

| Hi Guys
On this subject I have asked a few people this question and every year at Easter it seems to come up again
Does anyone know how and why Easter sunday falls differently each year either March Early April or Late April
I have hadthis conversation with my best friend who was brought up in a strict Catholic enviroment and even she doesnt know for sure she thinks that it has something to do with the moon???????
I dont know if anyone can answer but hey it is worth trying isnt it?

| I think you're going to wish you hadn't asked!
Easter Sunday is the date of the annual celebration of Christ's resurrection. The aim of the Easter Dating Method is to maintain, for each Easter Sunday, the same season of the year and the same relationship to the preceding astronomical full moon that occurred at the time of his resurrection in 30 A.D.
This was achieved in 1583 A.D. using skill and common-sense by Pope Gregory the 13th, and his astronomers and mathematicians, predominantly Lilius and Clavius, by introducing their new larger (revised) PFM Gregorian dates table. This replaced the (original) 326 A.D. "19 PFM dates" table in the Julian calendar.
Easter Sunday, from 326 A.D., is always one of the 35 dates March 22 to April 25.
From 31 A.D. to 325 A.D. Easter Day was celebrated either:
(a) on or just after the first day of the Jewish Passover (no matter on which day of the week that Easter Day occurred), or
(b) on a Sunday close to or on the first Passover Day.
Both of these methods existed continuously throughout this period.
From 326 A.D. to 1582 A.D. Easter Sunday date was based on the Julian calendar in use at that time. It became defined as the Sunday following the Paschal Full Moon date for the year, using a simple "19 PFM dates" table. Precise information on this subject can be found on pages 415 to 425 of the Explanatory Supplement to the 1961 Astronomical Ephemeris.
The Julian calendar was replaced by the Gregorian calendar in October 1582 to re-align March 20 (and therefore Easter) with the seasons by removing 10 dates October 5 to 14, 1582. This replacement did not occur until later in many countries e.g. in September 1752 in England. See GM Arts Easter Date Calculations for more information. ENGLISH Easter Sunday dates for 1583 to 1752 can be calculated using information near the end of this Easter Dating Method document.
The Gregorian calendar very closely maintains the alignment of seasons and calendar dates by having leap years in only 1 of every 4 century years, namely, those divisible exactly by 400. One additional February 29 date will need to be removed in about 4140 A.D., therefore Easter calculations will need to use the changed Days of Week of PFM dates when the exact year for this removal is decided.
From 326 A.D., the Easter Sunday Date for any given year is NOT determined by the March Equinox date for that year. March 20 (not March 21) is the most common Gregorian Equinox date from 1583 to 4099 A.D.
Historically, references to March 21 have caused mistakes in calculating Easter Sunday dates. March 20 has become the important date in recent Easter dating methods. Despite frequent references to March 21, this date has no special significance to any recent Easter dating methods.
The present method describing the Easter Dating Procedure can be found in Christian Prayer Books. From assa.org
