When is Easter?

Easter Sunday moves every year. It falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after 21 March, so it can land anywhere from 22 March to 25 April. This countdown calculates the date automatically.

This page uses the Western (Gregorian) date of Easter. Orthodox churches often celebrate on a later date because they use the Julian calendar for the calculation.

Questions people ask

Why does Easter change date every year?

Easter is tied to the spring full moon, so it moves between 22 March and 25 April.

When is Good Friday?

Good Friday is two days before Easter Sunday.

Is Orthodox Easter on the same day?

Sometimes, but often it's one or more weeks later because it's calculated with the Julian calendar.
