How the date of Easter is decided
Easter Sunday is a moveable feast: it falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the spring equinox, which is fixed for church purposes at 21 March. That means it can fall anywhere between 22 March and 25 April. The date also determines other dates in the calendar, including Shrove Tuesday, Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, Mothering Sunday and Pentecost. Western churches and Orthodox churches use different calendars, so they often celebrate Easter on different days. In the UK, Good Friday and Easter Monday are bank holidays, which makes it a popular long weekend for travel.
