Two easter island

• Two Easters: In the 7th century, Ireland (and Britain) used its own system to calculate the date of Easter, while Rome used a separate method, causing dissent within the church. Pope Honorius I threatened to excommunicate the Irish in 630 if they didn't adopt Rome's preferred ("Alexandrine") method; the southern church (under the Archbishop of Dublin) complied in 632, but the northern church (under the Archbishop of Armagh) persisted in marking the "Irish Easter" until 664. (A further faction of churches in Ireland and Scotland didn't recognize the Alexandrine Easter until 716.) Hence, for nearly a century there were two Easters in different regions of Ireland.

• Easter Island: Small island in the South Pacific, known for the ancient stone statues (moai) that line its perimeter
