Easter is a Movable Feast, and the date can change a lot from one year to the next. This year in 2010, Easter was on April 4th. Next year, in 2011, Easter Sunday will be April 24th. That's almost as late as it ever gets (not counting the Easter dates of the Orthodox Churches).
Lent begins six and a half weeks before Easter, on Ash Wednesday, which will be 9th March in 2011.
So don't let the next Lent and Easter creep up on you unawares. Be ready.
Only 47 and a half weeks until Ash Wednesday, and 54 weeks until next Easter Sunday!
I hope you have enjoyed journeying through Lent with me, exploring last year's prayer and labyrinth themes, and this year's pot pourri (i.e. no theme!).
Have a good year and come back for more next time.
This site might be rather quiet until Lent approaches again, but in the meantime feel free to make comments and ask questions. I'll be listening!

Hi, Stewart--
ReplyDeleteThis Tom Haverly, looking for an old, dear friend by your name. We first knew each other at Liberton Kirk, Edinburgh.
Love to get back in touch, if this is, um, you!
Yes, Tom, it is me! And I see you found my Main blog too. See you there.
