Ecclesiastical nitpicking
Someone got up in front of the assembled multitude at church and declared today to be the fourth Sunday after Easter. That's wrong; it is only the third Sunday after Easter Day, which was of course a Sunday.
But Easter, like Christmas, is a season, and whereas that dark and depressing time of year lasts a mere twelve days, Easter consists of fifty days, eight of them Sundays. Today is therefore the fourth Sunday *of* Easter, not after it.
