Lentorama 2023: It Happened on Holy Saturday

Day 16: Holy Saturday comes early

March 21, 1818, doesn't appear to be particularly notable, except in one way that's pretty meta. This is the earliest day on which Holy Saturday can occur in Western Christianity, and Holy Saturday won't occur on March 21 again until 2285, a gap of 467 years. That's a pretty unusual length of time between Holy Saturdays, at least based on it happening on March 21 about once a century between 1500 and 1818.

Expect a post about the latest possible Holy Satuday (April 25), especially if it comes with an equally large gap.
