lol, Happy Easter man. Can you explain why you guys celebrate it after most other Christians celebrate Easter? I have always wondered why but never knew the real meaning behind it.

I don't know why exactly...and I don't think it's anything more than just a calendar difference. We learned the formula once back in Sunday School...if I remember correctly it's:
The first Sunday, after the first full moon, after the spring Equinox, after the Jewish Passover.
*Edit: here's more info for you. http://www.assa.org.au/edm.html#Method
it has to do with the Orthodox Easter being calculated using the Julian Calendar, and Western one being calculated by the Gregorian Calendar...I think. I just kinda skimmed through it.
