The Activity Column Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, celebrate Easter around town! My memories of Easter include tulips and light coats, but the most common date for Easter is March 31, so I probably wore winter boots as often as white patent shoes to church. Easter can fall as early as March 22, but the last time it did, James Monroe was president, and it won’t be that early again until 2285. Let’s hope our many times great grandchildren have warm coats. For most Christians, Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon that falls on or after the vernal equinox, unless that day is a Sunday. This means Easter can fall between March 22 and April 25. Simple, right? This was agreed upon at the Council of Nicaea in 325. Orthodox Christian churches use the Julian calendar, so they usually celebrate a little later. Over the centuries, there have been efforts to set Easter on a fixed Sunday, or at least to agree on one date for the celebration. Leaders of the world’s major Christian denominations have wanted to establish a common date as a symbol of reconciliation among the churches, and to have it settled by the 1700th anniversary of the Nicaean Council in 2025. No announcement has been made, and many think church leaders should be focusing on more important issues. Christians are accustomed to differences in Easter’s celebration, after all. Some Christians mark Holy Thursday with acts of humility, like washing the feet of strangers, while others choose acts of service, like work- ing in a food bank. In Switzerland, there’s no Easter Bunny, the cuckoo brings Easter eggs. In Germany, it’s a fox. There is also tolerance for change — Lent was once a more arduous period on the religious calendar, requiring abstinence from meat, eggs, dairy, sport and sex for the entire six-week period from Ash Wednesday to Holy Thursday. Giving up chocolate is much easier. If you’re celebrating Easter in Cape May, join the Easter Egg Hunt on Convention Hall Beach, March 30 from 11am-2pm for children aged 10 and under. No rain date. The Easter Fashion Stroll starts at Rotary Park, Sunday, March 31. Registration begins at noon, and the stroll at 1pm. Treat yourself to an Easter meal — Harry’s hosts an Easter brunch and egg hunt on March 30. Easter EggstravanZOO at the Cape May Zoo will entertain the kids who are off school from Friday, March 29 through April 7. Enjoy a scavenger hunt, a game of “ISpy” and a “Hopstacle” course.
