Ever wondered why the Easter date changes each year? Sometimes the Easter date is in early April. Sometimes it’s in late April. There are other times the Easter date changes to late March. Believe it or not, the reason the Easter date changes every year has a lot to do with astronomy! It’s got nothing to do with a decision made by churches, public holidaymakers, or governments.
Quite simply, Easter Sunday is deemed to be the first Sunday after the full moon, following the March Equinox. Just so you know, the March Equinox is always on or around 22nd March each year.
