ASHEVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) – In a rare turn of events, two very different holidays will share the same day this year. Easter can fall on any Sunday between March 22 and April 25, but 420 Day comes on the same day every year. Like a solar eclipse, the two holidays will align this Sunday, although celebrating both simultaneously might be difficult.
