Question: Can Father George's homily of Easter Sunday be put on the Internet? It has such a different tone for a holiday sermon but so intouch with the mood of the people.  I would like to share this with my family and under the delicate circumstances wouldn't want to misrepresent the true meaning of this wonderful homily. 

Answer:  Each of the Sunday homilies are recorded, transcribed and uploaded to the St. Noel website.  Recent homilies are available on the homepage; older homilies are archived for easy access. Click here for older homlies.

Question: Why is Easter in the Roman Church being celebrated approximately a month before Passover and Orthodox Easter? Shouldn't they be relatively close together based on the calendar?

Answer: The answer is somewhat complicated as some of the Orthodox Church follows the Julian Calendar, the Roman Church follows the Gregorian Calendar and the Jewish religion has followed a lunar calendar for centuries.

Sometimes the dates are near each other, but this is not always the case. A search on "Easter Dating Methods" will yield a good amount of information.

Thanks for your question.
