There's a squad of folk in some government department somewhere earning a small fortune and costing another deciding on the dates...


Haven't looked back I'm afraid - have we had the anti-semitic discussion about the film on here? Sorry to start something off again if it's been laid to rest.

Obo- I have heard it has something to do with the timings of the moon, in line with the Jewish customs of the pass-over. Having not looked into it in further detail, do not want to say this for definite. I am going to a weekend course of the Jewish festivals soon, so will let you know more then. Hope that helps.

Cameron- There has been some view-points on it....but no major discussion. Why? What are your views? Have you seen the film yet?

Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal (Spring) Equinox.

Originally, it had something to do with needing a full moon to travel through the night.

But why if we are to believe the story of the resurrection of Christ does it not fall on the same day every year like christmas?

Apparently he wasn't even born on Christmas! I don't care anyway as long as I get time off work

Me too! And eggs at Easter!!

Yep and all that food at Christmas. It's all about greed you know!

And presents and beer!

Hi Obo.

Again, having not looked into it too much (for the time being). I am led to believe that Christmas day is based on a Pagan worship day of light. Since it falls a few days after the shortest day of the year, the festival is celebrating the turning of the days (getting lighter, as opposed to getting darker). Since Christians believe that Jesus is the 'light of the world', I'm guessing that they adopted this day 'in light' of that (oh dear bad joke!!).

I am glad too that you (and us all) are able to celebrate Christmas and Easter.

Yes I saw it last week in Aberdeen. My view is that it depicts man's inhumanity to man. People can read a lot of different things into it, but I think that is the bottom line.

That is very true. Some believe he was probably born around the Easter time. Very confusing!

I have that same view point. I went to see it in Aberdeen last week too... weird!

It was either the same night, the same cinema, same time and I didn't notice you or different night same cinema or same/ different night different cinema... well whatever!

What cinema did you got to?

The Lighthouse.

Yes that was the one I went to, it's called VUE now though... what a pants name!

*grins thinking about a story TCBon told me about the Girdleness lighthouse in Aberdeen* TCBon you will know what I'm talking about! Still makes me laugh thinking that it was my friends Dad who looked after it!

......told you I'm not shy.

Always interested in increasing my general knowledge. Never know there might be a pub question somewhere on the functioning of a lighthouse.
