So is this the REAL Easter?
My sis works for a lady who's Eastern Orthodox Catholic...They're having a HUGE celebration all this week because Easter only comes once every 5yrs

Is this true?

I'd really like to teach my daughter to observe April 8th if this is true

This year both the Eastern and Western Churches celebrate Easter on the same date. Perhaps that is what she meant.

Is that because the 8th falls on Sunday, or some other reason?

I was told that on Easter (according to the calendar) she celebrates like the "bunny easter"..but April 8th is the reserved day for celebrating the real Easter....They attend services all week, they have the last supper and foot washing, then they have like a funeral and mourn and then a huge celebration on Sunday the 8th. This church walks down the streets being loud and singing and have like a late night parade of sorts..

Don't worry, you are welcome here at STR I have never heard of the custom which you describe. Please don't feel bad for asking though. Let us know if you find out more.
