About Easter Date Calculation

The Computus

Easter Sunday is calculated using the "computus" - an algorithm that determines the date based on the lunar calendar. It falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon occurring on or after the spring equinox.

Date Range

Easter can fall anywhere between March 22 and April 25. The algorithm used here (Anonymous Gregorian) is accurate for the Gregorian calendar, which started in 1582.

Western vs Eastern

This calculator shows Western (Catholic/Protestant) Easter dates. Eastern Orthodox Easter often falls on a different date due to the use of the Julian calendar for calculations.
