How is the date of Easter set?
Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after March 21, using the church’s tables for the full moon rather than the astronomical one. That puts Easter between March 22 and April 25.
Good Friday is two days before Easter Sunday, and in many countries Easter Monday, the day after, is a public holiday as well.
Western and Orthodox Easter
Orthodox churches calculate Easter with the Julian calendar, so their Easter is often a week or more later than the date shown here, and in some years the two fall on the same Sunday. This page uses the Western date.
