Rules for Finding the Date of Easter Day
Easter Day is always the Sunday after the full moon that occurs on or after the spring equinox on March 21, a date which is fixed in accordance with an ancient ecclisiastical computation, and which does not always correspond to the astronomical equinox. This full moon may happen on any date between March 21 and April 18 inclusive. If the full moon falls on a Sunday, Easter nay is the Sunday following. But Easter Day cannot be earlier than March 22 or later than April 25.
