The earliest possible date for Easter is March 22nd (since it's
defined to be at least one day after the ecclesiastical equinox, which
is defined to be the 21st).  The last time it fell on that date was in
1818, and it won't happen again until 2285.

A table of the most recent occurrence and the next repeat of Easter
dates in March:

22: 1818, 2285
23: 1913, 2160
24: 1940, 2391

26: 1989, 2062
27: 2005, 2016
28: 1948, 2027
