Lives Of The Saints: Movable Feasts

MOVABLE FEASTS are so called because they have no fixed place in the calendar; their celebration happening sooner or later, year by year, according as the feast of Easter itself occurs at a different period. The latter feast is always celebrated on the Sunday which accompanies or follows the first full moon after the spring equinox. As the movable feasts afford useful lessons, we ought to take them fully to heart.
