Easter's date is determined by the first Sunday after the Paschal full moon. The Paschal full moon is the first full moon that occurs on or after the spring equinox. While the spring equinox shifts yearly, the Church uses a fixed date of March 21, known as the ecclesiastical equinox, for calculations. This means Easter always falls between March 22 and April 25.
