A rather wise friend of mine once wrote (not in his exact wording but anyhow...): \"The scientific definition of the spring equinox is when the sun is (from the perspective of those on earth) directly overhead at the equator. The Church has decided to count March 21 as the equinox for Pascha calculating purposes. Which calender says March 21 when the sun is directly overhead at the equator? \"
OK, granted sometimes it\'s on March 22, but it\'s NEVER on April 4.
He also said something about the Church sanctifying the world. If we believe that is possible, then there should be no talk of the Greg Calendar being heretical/whateveryouwannacallit. The Church\'s use of it sanctifies it.
