What is the number of Easter

Easter is a divine holiday that celebrates every believer family. The most interesting thing is that every year the Resurrection of Christ falls on different dates. These days are not chosen. Fine mathematical calculations are used to calculate the date of the holiday. If there is no desire to remember the school course of mathematics and dive into calculations, you can use the Divine calendar.

After the resurrection of Christ Judea and Christians began to celebrate a holiday in different days. Christians calculated Easter Day by adding 7 to the date of the Jewish holiday. But after the destruction of Jerusalem, it began to do it difficult. Therefore, they began to consider the day of the occurrence of Easter the first Sunday after the spring full moon. It comes after spring equinox.

If there is no divine calendar, then you can add 40 days to the date of the carnival. This number will be the beginning of a light Easter.

You can monitor the lunar phases and calculate the first full moon in the spring. The first resurrection after it is the date of Saint Resurrection.

To determine the date of the celebration of Light Easter with the help of calculations, you need:

Divide the year in which it is planned to know the day of the celebration of the Resurrection of Christ, 19. The figure obtained after this operation is recorded.
The current year is divided into 4. Remember the value obtained.
Divide to 7, remember the number.
Calculate the product of the first number and 19, the resulting digit is divided by 30, remember the result.
The second result of the calculation is multiplied by 2.
Find the product of the third residue to 4.
Fourth residue to multiply by 6.
Fold all the numbers after mathematical operations (they are only 4) and add to the amount 6.
The result obtained is divided into 7 and remember the numeric value.

In case the sum of the fourth and fifth values \u200b\u200bis less than 9, then the holiday in March. To determine the exact date you need to fold the fourth and fifth result and add to them 22. If the amount is greater than 9, then the holiday in April. In order to find out the exact number, it is necessary to fold the fourth and fifth residue and subtract out of the figures 9. The received dates of the celebration of light Sunday correspond to the old style, so you need to add 13 to the numbers.

In 2015, Easter will be celebrated on April 12 for the Orthodox calendar. This method of calculation will be relevant to 2101. From 2102, the difference between the old and new style will be not 13, and 14 days.
