What, a few thousand years of the creation/influence of Western Philosophy isn't good enough for you? These small nations; always wanting more. Just wait until you see the Irish Aircraft Carrier fleet (well, the collection of small grey plastic boats on my blue carpet - but it's a beginning!) :Dpdavit wrote:...a product of a Greek author to also support the Greek language.
As usual, the orthodoxies of the Revised Julian Calendar are never short on internecine squabbles & controversies...nikos wrote:Another Sunday, another Easter (this time the right one)
The synod also proposed the adoption of an astronomical rule for Easter: Easter was to be the Sunday after the midnight-to-midnight day at the meridian of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem (35°13'46"E or UT+2h20m55s for the large dome) during which the first full moon after the vernal equinox occurs. Although the instant of the full moon must occur after the instant of the vernal equinox, it may occur on the same day. If the full moon occurs on a Sunday, Easter is the following Sunday. However, all Eastern Orthodox churches rejected this rule and continue to use the Julian calendar to determine the date of Easter (except for the Finnish Orthodox Church, which now uses the Gregorian Easter).
