Easter and the holidays that are related to it are known as moveable feasts, in that they do not fall on a fixed date in the Gregorian or Julian calendars (both of which are based on the cycle of the sun and the seasons).

Instead, the date for Easter is determined on a lunisolar calendar similar to the Hebrew calendar.

We have the full explanation of how Easter dates are calculated. You can however make use of these easter smileys to brighten up your Easter messages to your family and friends. You can download a toolbar for your browser for free and search for the Easter Smileys directly from the toolbar.

In Western Christianity, using the Gregorian calendar, Easter always falls on a Sunday between March 22 and April 25, inclusively. The following day, Easter Monday, is a legal holiday in many countries with predominantly Christian traditions. In Eastern Orthodox Churches — which continue to use the Julian calendar for religious dating — Easter also falls on a Sunday between March 22 and April 25, inclusive, of the Julian calendar. (The Julian calendar is no longer used as the civil calendar of the countries where Eastern Christian traditions predominate.) In terms of the Gregorian calendar, due to the 13 day difference between the calendars between 1900 and 2099, these dates are between April 4 and May 8, inclusive. Among the Oriental Orthodox some churches have changed from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar and the date for Easter as for other fixed and moveable feasts is the same as in the Western Church. The precise date of Easter has often at times been a matter for some contention.

At the First Council of Nicaea in 325 it was originally decided that all Christian churches would celebrate Easter on the same day, which would be calculated independently of any Jewish calculations to determine the date of Passover. It is however probable (though no contemporary account of the Council’s decisions has survived) that no method of determining the date was specified by the Council.

In the years following the council, the computational system that was worked out by the church of Alexandria came to be normative. It took a while for the Alexandrian rules to be adopted throughout Christian Europe, however. The Church of Rome continued to use an 84-year lunisolar calendar cycle from the late third century until 457. The Church of Rome continued to use its own methods until the 6th century, when it may have adopted the Alexandrian method as converted into the Julian calendar by Dionysius Exiguus (certain proof of this does not exist until the ninth century). Early Christians in Britain and Ireland also used a late third century Roman 84-year cycle. This was replaced by the Alexandrian method in the course of the 7th and 8th centuries. Churches in western continental Europe used a late Roman method until the late 8th century during the reign of Charlemagne, when they finally adopted the Alexandrian method. However, with the adoption of the Gregorian calendar by the Catholic Church in 1582 and the continuing use of the Julian calendar by Eastern Orthodox and most Oriental Orthodox Churches, the date on which Easter is celebrated again deviated, and the divergence continues to this day.

Luck of the Irish is a post from: msnsmileys.org

Smileys and other emoticons, or “emotion icons” are considered flippant by some people, but in fact they perform a very useful and necessary service in the area of e-mail and text communication. In the early days of e-mail, users discovered that it was difficult to communicate their emotions properly sometimes because the intent of their words was not clear to the receiver. In other words, the intended tone of the communication was often lost by using text alone because of the lack of body or facial language in the communication.

But a solution to this communication problem was quickly invented: the humble emoticon. And the best-known of these friendly little symbols is the so-called Smiley Face. The Smiley was originally created by typing a colon, dash and closed bracket, and appears like this on the screen.

Emoticons or Smiley Faces are used millions of times every single day online, on message boards or forums, in e-mails, on instant messaging and increasingly on mobile phones. The Smiley is regularly used in cell phone text messaging, for example.

Generally, emoticons like the Smiley Faces are useful and appropriate in many situations, such as e-mailing friends and family, or expressing the emotional content of a message while posting to a blog, on a message board, or other online forum. But the question is often asked, “is it appropriate for Smiley Faces be used in business or other more formal e-mails?”

The answer to this simple question is surprisingly difficult. For example, while it is definately inadvisable to use Smileys or other emoticons in highly formal e-mail communications, in less formal business correspondence they could well be appropriate. If, for example, you are comfortable with, and have a social relationship with a business associate, emoticons can be perfectly appropriate. However, you’ll want to exercise considerable caution, and refrain from overusing Smileys or other types of emoticons even in the most informal of business e-mails.

The use of smiley icons can sometimes signify a casual and even playful tone in an e-mail, therefore it is important to consider if your use of the Smiley will be perceived as unprofessional in some cases. As a general rule, simply ask yourself, “would the recipient of this e-mail use a smiley or other emoticon themselves?” If you suspect the recipient would not use an emoticon, the best choice is to refrain from using them yourself. In other words, when in doubt, leave the Smiley out.

Another point to consider is this; will the recipient of your e-mail understand the use of the Smiley? Older professionals, in particular, may not have the experience of using or receiving emoticons. So the question is not so much if they will approve, but if they will actually understand the intended meaning of including emoticons in your message. Unless an individual has sent you an e-mail containing a smiley, it is impossible to say for certain if they are familiar with, or approve of, these helpful little symbols.

To summarize, Smileys should only be used in the most informal of business correspondence, or if you have a close relationship with the recipient. You should never use a smiley or other emoticon in a formal business memo, proposal, letter or communication.
