Top things to do in and around Atlanta this week

The answer is not a simple one. In 325 CE, the Council of Nicaea, a gathering of Christian bishops, decided that there should be a more organized and universal way to decide when Easter would be celebrated. The council decided that the remembrance would be held the first Sunday after the first full moon occurring on or after the vernal equinox.

ATLANTA — Here is a look at some of the upcoming events in the Atlanta area.
