Re: Why such a funny way to calculate it
Except that Easter is actually calculated in such a way that it doesn't have to be the Sunday after an actual full moon - it's a fictional event called the Paschal Full Moon instead. And then I always like the way that you count backwards 40 days, not including Sundays, to get to Ash Wednesday. Hmm.
