The exact date of Easter 2027

Easter 2027 falls on Sunday, March 28, 2027. That is a Sunday, which means it lands on a weekend. It is the 87th day of 2027 and sits in ISO week 12. If you are planning around it, the day of the week matters as much as the date itself, because it decides whether the observance creates a long weekend, a midweek pause, or a day that has to be moved under local substitute-holiday rules.

Falling on a Sunday, Easter overlaps a normal weekend. Where it is a public holiday, the observed day off is often moved to the following Monday under substitute-day rules.

Compared with 2026, when it fell on April 5, Easter 2027 moves about 8 days earlier in the Gregorian calendar. This drift is normal for a holiday tied to a lunar or lunisolar calendar rather than a fixed civil date.

About Easter

Easter is the central Christian celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. In Western churches it is a movable feast, falling on the Sunday after the Paschal full moon on or after 21 March, which places it between 22 March and 25 April. Easter also anchors related observances such as Lent, Holy Week, Good Friday, and Pentecost. Customs vary widely by denomination and culture, from church services and vigils to family meals, decorated eggs, and spring gatherings. This page does not recompute Easter; it reads the date from timekit's published 2026-2035 religious holidays table, where Easter is produced by the site's Gregorian computus implementation.
