I think I`d also like to find a life of Byrd: being so involved at court and also well-known to the Jesuits must make for an interesting biography.Fr Michael Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320336535138538635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-1106093926743051622008-04-07T17:21:00.000+01:002008-04-07T17:21:00.000+01:00Quite agree that this series has been excellent.

For more information on Byrd, perhaps you might like to look at www.blackmorehistory.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>The date of Easter is calculated as being the first Sunday following the first Full Moon after the Vernal (Spring) Equinox. This year the Equinox was on 20 March and Full Moon on 21 March. This meant that Easter Day fell on 23 March. It's just about the earliest date it can be. The Church of England Common Worship book includes a list of Easter Days. In 2011, Easter Day is on 24 April. The Book of Common Prayer has an elaborate method of manually calculating Easter Day for any year using what is known as 'Golden Numbers'. I haven't tried this method.Andrew Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575233143253116499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-7474343137103554032008-04-07T15:00:00.000+01:002008-04-07T15:00:00.000+01:00Father, I am very pleased to see there is such a g...Father, I am very pleased to see there is such a good series on sacred music which doesn't get much press.<BR/>I would like ot raise a question on a different subject altogether but I don't know how to ask a question without clicking the "comments" on an existing subject. My question is: how is the date of Easter calculated? My protestant chums have all given different accounts and I bet they are all wrong so I thought "Father Brown will know!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
