LEAP OF FAITH CHRISTIANS WITH A RESURRECTION MINDSET

I’ve never given too much thought to the whole Leap Year concept, other than to wonder what it would be like to be born on February 29th. As a youth I thought that a birthday every four years would be a rip-off, but now I’m thinking that birthdays come much too frequently and slowing down the aging process might be an OK thing.

We all know the leap year math... since each year contains 365.242374 days, every fourth year something different needs to happen. We add an extra day to the calendar, February gets a little closer to being a “full month,” and Easter is kept in its proper place. (The vernal equinox signifies the beginning of Spring in the Northern hemisphere…and Easter always falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon to occur after the vernal equinox. Talk about confusing calendars!) This “Paschal Full Moon” always falls between March 21 - April 18. In 2020, the Paschal full moon will be observed on April 8th…with Easter falling on Sunday, April 12th.)

Adding in a Leap Year February 29th + Dating Easter = Confusing stuff!

But keeping our focus on being “Leap of Faith Christians with a Resurrection Mindset,” that’s much more important!
