Thus, Easter was Sunday, April 18. The astronomical equinox also occurred on March 21. The next astronomical Full Moon occurred on April 18 at UT=5h. So in some places in the world Easter was on the same Sunday as the astronomical Full Moon.
Easter is always the first Sunday after the Full Moon which happens upon or next after the twenty-first day of March; and if the Full Moon happens upon a Sunday, Easter is the Sunday after. The time of Easter being found, the other Feasts and Festivals occur as follows: Septuagesima Sunday is nine weeks before Easter. Ash Wednesday, or the beginning of Lent, is forty-six days before Easter. Palmarum, or the beginning of Holy Week, is seven days before Easter.
