Easter and Good Friday.

Easter day this year will be neither very early nor very late— April 12. The earliest date on which Easter can fall is March 22, but this has not occurred since 1818 and will not occur again until the year 2000 has been left well behind. The latest day for Easter is April 25. This was the date in 1868, and will be again in 1943. April 12 is quite a favorite day for Easter. Besides in 1903 it will occur in 1914,1925, 1936 and 1998. Good Friday falls on April 10 and Whit Sunday on May 31. In the Jewish calender this is the year 5663. It is already four months old, beginning on October 2. In the Mohammedan calendar it is the month Shawali in the year 1320.
