About Easter Sunday
Easter is the central Christian feast, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. It is a movable feast: Western churches set it as the first Sunday after the Paschal full moon on or after 21 March, so it can fall anywhere from 22 March to 25 April. This countdown uses the Western (Gregorian) computus. Easter anchors a cluster of related dates, Shrove Tuesday, Good Friday, and Whitsun, that all move with it. Beyond the religious observance, secular customs include egg hunts, the Easter Bunny, and spring family gatherings across much of the Christian world.
Date rule: First Sunday after the first full moon on or after the spring equinox (Western computus).

How the Easter Sunday date is set
Easter Sunday belongs to the western & secular calendar tradition. First Sunday after the first full moon on or after the spring equinox (Western computus). Movable dates like this are resolved from the underlying calendar rule rather than a fixed Gregorian day, which is why the date moves around the calendar each year. Timekit computes every occurrence in the table below from that same rule, so the dates stay consistent with the rest of the site's calendar tools and update automatically as the years roll forward.
