Father Jerry Rassias explains two reasons for differing Easter dates. The First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD set a rule against Easter before or on April 14, tied to Passover. The Julian and Gregorian calendars create ranges with Easter possible between April 3 and May 8 in Greek practice versus March 22 to April 25 in Western churches. A midnight Resurrection service is planned tonight with an Agape service at 3 PM tomorrow. A cool, fair Virginia day follows a New England low off the coast.
