When Is Easter 2015? And Why Does The Date Always Change? by HopeAtHand: 8:51pm On Feb 28, 2015 |
It’s a question that flummoxes the best of us – why do the dates of Easter change every year? The answer is a little more complicated than you might have previously thought.This year Easter Sunday falls on April 5, Easter Monday on April 6 and Good Friday on April 3, just over two weeks earlier than last year. Easter is determined by the lunar calendar. It is the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after March 21. That date is significant because it is traditionally the first day of the astrological year. That date was set by the First Council of Nicaea, made up of Christian bishops, in 325 AD. Easter is traditionally preceded by Lent, a 40-day period of fasting and preparation which begins 46 days before Easter with Sundays not counting as fasting days. Happy easter in advance.
