First full moon day
First full moon.
Easter always falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the first day of spring. In other words the order would be: 1. First day of spring 2. First full moon after first day of spring 3. First Sunday after the first full moon is Easter
Easter Day is the first Sunday after the full moon which happens on, or after the 21st day of March, and if the full moon happens on a Sunday, Easter is the Sunday after.
It's a 15-day celebration starting with the first lunar new moon of the year. Ends on the full moon. This year it starts on Feb 14 and ends Feb 28 2010
The New Moon in May will occur at 9 PM Eastern time on May 13th, 2010 .Notes:-- That's May 14th for all of Europe, Africa, and Asia.-- This date is only for 2010. It'll be a different date next year.
Easter Sunday has a 28 day "swing" cycle. It is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox (March 21-22). Sorry I don't have a 2010 calendar but you can figure it out by looking up the first full moon to occur after the spring equinox next year. The following Sunday will be Easter Sunday.
The date of Easter is always:The first Sunday afterThe first full moon afterThe first day of Spring.The Vernal Equinox is the first day of Spring. Sometime after that, from a day to three and a half weeks later, will be the first full moon of Spring. The next Sunday after that first full moon of Spring is always Easter. It can be anywhere from about the 22nd of March to the 25th of April.
Every lunar month when the moon appears as a crescent on the first day, to eventually become a full moon, that crescent, that thin almost invisible first day of the moon is called a "new moon".
According to Hindu calander thre is full moon after every 15 days and the day of full moon is called the EKADSHI that means the first day and the fifth day is called PANCHAMI.
On May 27, 2010, the Moon will be one day past the full, but you probably won't be able to notice the difference without looking pretty closely.
