Information on why every year Christian Easter is celebrated at different times, and the bright Sunday of Christ is celebrated by Catholics and Orthodox, then no, there are many people.
Features of Julian and Gregorian calendar
The Grigorian calendar is called Catholic, and the Julian calendar is Orthodox. But this is not entirely right. In October 1582, Gregorian style was adopted. Named in honor of Pope Grigory 13. According to Gregorian style, some Orthodox churches, such as Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch and others, "live". The old style is true Russian, Georgian, Serbian, Jerusalem, Polish (part) of the Church. The transition to a new style by many adherents of Julian style is not perceived eagerly.
How do you count the date of the celebration of the Holy Easter?
The idea of \u200b\u200ba specific date of the onset of Sunday of Christ was not accepted. Middle Eastern and Major communities celebrated Old Testament Easter. But in the Roman, Alexandrovskaya and other churches, Easter was celebrated next week after the Jewish Easter. At the same time, the date was calculated on the basis of the date of spring equinox, and not from the date of the full moon.
The question of the date of the celebration of Easter became controversial for the Jewishrystian and pagans. Such disputes and disagreements lasted about a half century. At the first universal cathedral, they tried to find a compromise and resolve disputes. The following innovations took: the bright holiday Easter is the first Sunday after the spring equinox and the subsequent full moon. Then the New Testament Easter was no longer tied to the Jewish Easter. In addition, the Cathedral has developed special tables with which you can calculate Easter Day in any subsequent year. These prescriptions are also used.
The calculation of the duty of the Easter celebration was influenced by the fracture of Orthodoxy to the Western and Eastern branches. It contributed to the transition to the Gregorian calendar of the Western Church. This incident has largely complicated the process of calculating the day of the Easter celebration. Although due to the fact that some principles of calculation are similar in different calendars, there are occasionally days when Easter simultaneously celebrate Jews and Catholics.
Is it possible to calculate Easter celebrations on their own?
Calculate on your own Date of Light Easter can be, but for this requires patience and perseverance. So, it is worth using the following formula: 4 + C + D April. In case the sum is obtained greater than 30, then apply: 4 + C + D May.
Date variables for calculating Easter learns as follows.
C - year, which is divided into 19. The residue obtained in division is multiplied by 19. Then, 15 is added to the result and divide the amount by 30. In this case, the residue will correspond to.
D will be equal to the residue 2a + 4d + 6c + 6, divided by 7. The residue, after the separation of the required year by 4 is a, the residue from the division of the year by 7 is d.
Such a procedure for calculations revealed a group of scientists who worked on the study of relations between the solar calendar and the Jewish 12-year cycle.
The easiest way to calculate the holiday date
