How is Easter's Date Calculated?
Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon occurring on or after the spring equinox.
The Basic Rule
The Council of Nicaea in 325 AD established that Easter would be celebrated on the first Sunday following the first full moon on or after March 21 (the ecclesiastical spring equinox).
The Computus
The calculation to determine Easter's date is called the 'computus' (Latin for 'computation'). It uses a 19-year lunar cycle called the Metonic cycle.
Date Range
Easter can fall anywhere between March 22 and April 25. The earliest Easter in the 21st century was March 23, 2008. The latest was April 24, 2011.
Western vs Eastern
Western Christianity (Catholic, Protestant) uses the Gregorian calendar, while Eastern Orthodox churches often use the Julian calendar, resulting in different dates.
