When is Easter?


Easter is observed by the churches of the West on the first Sunday following the full moon that occurs on or following the spring equinox (March 21). Because the Church calendar follows the moon, Easter Day is a "moveable" holiday and can be on any Sunday from March 22nd to April 25th!

Year: Date:



Working out the date of Easter Day is extremely tricky and you need to be pretty good at Maths to do it! There are still several version of how to calculate the date. Below is a version with all the complicated maths already done (it works for the Gregorian calendar for the years 1900 to 2199), so all you have to do is:

Divide the current year number by 19:
2018/19=106.21

Multiple the number before the decimal point by 19 (106 for 2018):
106x19=2018

Then subtract the result from Step 2 from the year number:
2018-2018=0

Add 1: 0+1=1
Look up the 'Golden Number' in the following table (1 for 2018!).

Easter is on the first Sunday after the date in the table.

In 2018 Easter is on April 1st, Happy April Fool's day to us!
