When exactly is Easter?
Easter Sunday is the most important feast of the Christian calendar, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. Its date moves each year: it is the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the spring equinox, which places it anywhere between March 22 and April 25.
Secular traditions include Easter eggs, egg hunts and the Easter Bunny — and in many countries the surrounding days (Good Friday and Easter Monday) are public holidays.

Frequently asked questions
When is Easter?
Easter Sunday falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the spring equinox.
Why does Easter change its date every year?
Easter follows a lunisolar rule set in 325 AD: the first Sunday after the first full moon occurring on or after the March equinox. Because full moons shift against the calendar, Easter can fall on any Sunday between March 22 and April 25.
