Easter is just around the corner

Easter falls on 23rd March this year. This is the earliest date for Easter since 1913, and it won't fall as early again until 2160, so we probably won't be around to see that! For those requiring an intellectual challenge ... Easter falls the first Sunday after the Full Moon that occurs on or after the Spring Equinox on March 21 (if the Full Moon falls on a Sunday then Easter is the next Sunday). This means that Easter can be as early as March 22 or as late as April 25.

We have a good selection of Easter cards in this year, and cards with a religous theme continue to be popular. Our best-selling card has been a very pretty one illustrated with the first verse of the hymn "All things bright and beautiful".
