Why does Easter move around ?
Did a search and found the answer but this one made me smile a bit, well some of the
replies did.
still don't make sense though, if its a "celebration" or "remembrance" or whatever you want to call it of an alleged
actual event how can the date move ?

its to do with the different calanders, jewish vs. ours. The date jesus died was Nisan 14th, which moves round the gragorian calander as the jewish
calander is lunar based.
There you go, with lots of spelling errors.
Enjoy your eggs, which are actually linked to pagan fertility celebrations which christianity incorperated into the celebration to make being a
christian more fun or something....
What a messy subject.
NIGHT!

Here you go.
Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon
after the Spring Equinox (which is March 20 of this year).
This dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar
which the Hebrew people used......to identify Passover;
which is why.....it moves around on our Roman calendar.
A couple of things you might be interested in!
Based on the above, Easter can actually be one day
earlier (March 22) ...but that is pretty rare.
Here's the interesting info.
This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of our lives! And only the most elderly of our population have ever seen it this
early, those of us whom are (95 years old or above!).
And none of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier!
Here's the facts:
1) The next time Easter will be this early (March 23)
will be the year 2228, which is (220 years from now).
The last time it was this early was 1913 (so if you are 95 years old or older, you are the only ones that were around for that!).
2) The next time it will be a day earlier,
March 22, will be in the year 2285 (277 years from now).
The last time it was on March 22 was the year 1818.
Soooo,...no one alive today, ...has or will EVER ...
see it any earlier than This Year!
Very Interesting ...wouldn't you say?
The latest day for Easter to fall on is April 25.
