An extra for fun

Dan Donaldson

Can you answer without looking it up: Easter does not come on a specific date, but meets another set of criteria. What is that criteria?

(looking for 3 conditions.)

I have been woodworking for about 25 years now, and would consider myself an enthusiastic amateur. My claim to fame (or infamy) has always been fixing stuff. I spent time in the Air Force in the 60's then went to work as an electronic technician for civil service. I finally got my EE, and being fed up with the civil service nonsense, took a job with Ford Motor Company until I went with the split to Visteon last year. I got interested in music and started playing in a bluegrass band. I wanted a new guitar, and that kind of led me into woodworking. I bought some books, a few tools, and built a guitar. Luckily, I didn't know any better than to try that as a first ever project. I still play it when I get a chance, so it must not be too bad if it can live for over 20 years. After a stint in Mexico for my job, I moved into a new house and built a small shop. Since then I have been collecting tools and skills, probably more of the former than the latter ;-). Finding this site has done more for my skills and enjoyment than anything else. I have learned a lot and really enjoy the friendships that I have made here. I have been married to LOML (Lori) for 32 years now and have 6 kids. When they are all gone, I want to get a 1 bedroom house (so there is not room for them to move back in) and at least a 6 car heated/air conditioned garage for a shop. (Dream on...)

A start

I don't remember the exact conditions, but maybe what I do remember can trigger a memory for someone else.

I think it is related to the full moon. Something like the first Sunday after the first full moon in April. Or maybe the full moon is tied to the beginning of Lent and the winter solstice?

Not an answer, but might help someone along the way.

The equinox and full moon are also eclesastical events not necesarily the astromnomical event.
