Her birthday is on April 9th.....or at least she thought it was. The newspaper clipping, however, says she was born on April 2nd. What I need from y'all is to see if anyone can find ( Read more... )

Good Friday was on the 8th. Good thing Greek Orthodox keep good records on their Easters. ;)

Errr... I meant the 9th. The 8th was a Thursday.

Hmmmm...that would mean she was born on the 10th. She said she was born the Sat. after Good Friday. I think maybe she just needs to talk to grandmother.....
Thanks :)

He's right. Wasn't paying attention and forgot that Orthodox Easter is on a different day, to mention I was taking my dates from the Julian calendar. So, Orthodox Easter is on the 24th (in the Gregorian Calendar - important distinction that), and normal Easter is on the 17th (also in Gregorian *g*)

Orthodox is April 24. o.O

is there no birth certificate?

Yeah...it says the 9th....I'm assuming that the hospital would know when she was born, but sometimes they make mistakes too.
