Administrators INTERESTING FACTS By Tom Plaxico Here are some interesting facts about Easter Did you ever wonder why Easter is called Easter? Where does the name come from? Few people know that Easter is named after the old Anglo- Saxon goddess of spring whose name was Eastra. Do you know what is the earliest date, and the latest date, on which Easter can fall? The earliest Easter can ever be is March 22 and the lat est it can ever be is April 26. The date for Easter is the (first Sunday after the first full moon after the 21st of March. The first Easter Parade in the United States was held—not in New York as many believe—but in Atlantic City, N. J., in 1876. • •••*• And here’s another interesing fact. . .
