As a 33-year-old, I have witnessed Western Easter fall on both it's second-earliest and second-latest dates (2008 and 2011, respectively) and it's third-latest date (April 23rd) in 2000 as a very young child.

I have also unknowingly witnessed Orthodox Easter it it's earliest possible date on April 4th 2010 (March 22nd 2010 Julian Old Style) and have a slim (but not impossible) chance of living to the year 2078 (where Orthodox Easter will fall on it's current latest date, May 8th).

Because the Julian (Orthodox) system uses a different method of calculating Easter, any Orthodox Christian over the age of 43 has witnessed their Easter on both their earliest and latest dates within the Orthodox range. There are many Orthodox Christians alive today who have witnessed both "their" Easter fall on their earliest and latest dates however unless we take action and create petitions - experience Western Easter on March 22nd is an impossible dream!

Read this Reddit post from 2025 to see why this petition matters so much!

This petition is not just to make Easter on March 22nd a reality for our generation, but to raise awareness about autism and neurodiversity and how it affects me for a neurotypical person's perspective.

Hopefully change.org will still exist in 2285!
