...you can figure out when Easter will be?

Every year Easter is on a different day. We all know that happens because it is based on a different calendar, but it need not be such a mystery.

Every year, Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox. Therefore, the earliest it can be is 22 March and the latest it can be is April 25th.

Nobody alive today has, or ever will, witness it occuring on March 22nd . The last time that happened was in 1818 and it won't happen again until 2285.

The last time Easter was on April 25th (the latest possible date) was 1943. You may have been around to see that and you may be around when it happens again in 2038.

Happy Easter!
