Easter calendar questions

A quick guide to Easter dates

Why can the dates differ?

Western churches calculate Easter using the Gregorian calendar. Orthodox churches use the Julian calendar calculation, which can lead to a different Sunday.

Is Easter always on Sunday?

Yes. Both Western and Orthodox Easter are celebrated on a Sunday, even though the date changes from year to year.

Which calendar are the dates in?

Every date here is shown in the Gregorian civil calendar, so the two traditions are easy to compare wherever you live.

How is Easter calculated?

Easter is the Sunday after the first full moon on or after the spring equinox. The two traditions use different calendar rules for that calculation.

What are the earliest and latest dates?

In the Western tradition, Easter can fall as early as March 22 and as late as April 25.

Can both traditions share a date?

Yes. Some years produce the same Easter Sunday for both traditions. Those years are marked as “Same day” in the comparison.
