This sometimes means that the date of the Passover, which is also the date of the Last Supper, comes later than Easter. This year the Feast of the Passover begins on April 23, almost a full month after the Gregorian Easter. The Eastern Orthodox tradi tion insists that the sequence of events be the same as the Biblical accounts of the Resurrection, so their Easter is always observed on a later date. otos -this illion rtho ay 3 onth Orth e old Jul oman how : s re 'l II in Gregorian Easter s preceed Julian Easters by a week, 74 times in the present century and by five weeks, 21 times. Because the date of Easter is not fixed, like that of Christmas or the Fourth of July, it can vary in the Gregorian calendar from March 22 to April 25. The most frequent date for Easter is April 19, which comes once in 26 years on the average. The rarest date for Easter is March 22 which occurs about once every 207 years. la Chi, al ism day of ngton, • . , * &A . ' it. !. 4flt ° lek. /Ism at
