Dear IMO,
I'm a bit confused about Easter this year. It seems earlier than I ever remember it. Just how do they calculate the date for Easter?
Sincerely,
Katie
Dear Katie,
If you are celebrating Easter according to the Gregorian Calendar than your Easter is very early, March 23, but if you are celebrating Pascha (the Eastern Orthodox term for the feast) according to the Julian Calendar than the date is April 27. It's rather complicated, and this could turn into a full seminar on Church History. For the sake of brevity, permit me to condense 2,000 years of history into a few paragraphs.

Maundy Thursday is the feast on the Thursday before Easter commemorating the Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles. This year a group at Lansing United Methodist Church is reenacting the fateful supper in Methodist Pastor Ernest K. Emurian's play 'Lord Is It I?' "He took Leonardo da Vinci's picture of the Last Supper and he created the play so that the set is the upper room as da Vinci painted it," explains director Judy Hinderliter. "Then you have the table in the front of the set, and the disciples sit in the poses as da Vinci painted them. They're all frozen in their position, and after Jesus says 'One of you will betray me,' each one in turn reflects on, 'Is it I, Lord.'"
Hinderliter first saw the play at her daughter's Maryland church, where it has become an annual tradition. Her son-in-law has played Peter in that production for ten years. "I was just touched by the power of the play," she says. "I was determined that when I retired that I'd never give up theater, and I would do that here."

Excitement was in the air at the Sciencenter Saturday as Director of Education Rae Ostman announced the winners of the museum's Cosmic Contest. More than 1,300 children from Kindergarten through 5th grade submitted original artwork or essays on earth and space sciences. Lansing Elementary School's Kindergarten class was among the winners with a clever project in which children created their own constellations. And Lansing first grader Ashley Stanbro won for her drawing and brief story about coral reefs.
"Cosmic Contest built on our previously successful Science Minutes writing contest," says Rae Ostman, Sciencenter Director of Education. "With NASA/NY Space Grant Consortium at Cornell University contributing funds, the Sciencenter has provided a science writing contest to local children every year since 2000."
