Nice one, the Easter dates are fixed by the calendar of the Mother Church, the Catholic Church.

What now surprises me is when our Pentecostal brethren go around criticizing the doctrines of the same church they follow.

Happy Easter everyone

Qmerit:
Thank you very much bros oo did you see a lot of "may" there in the past and coming yrs?
So, that it must be at most April 28 is not working..

You're welcome brother. What was definitely stated In the explanation was that it must be after March 21st. I think that April 28 cap there is mainly for the Western Church(Roman Catholic which is the largest universally). If you check, you'll see that it(April 28 limit) holds true for "western" in the main topic. The Eastern Churches(Orthodox, Coptic and other non-Roman Catholics) have some substantial variations between them and Rome so I'm not surprised at all. But we all are united under Christ and that's what is important.

Happy Easter to you and your family.
Thanks.

so una dey follow muslim dey drag moon kontinu

Many cultures the world over, infact most cultures use the moon and other celestial bodies in calculating dates so it's normal. In my own culture, we use the moon too. Infact, moon and month have the same name and are pronounced same way because we take a full moon as one month. Yoruba too is the same and I think likewise is Igbo and others.

Scientifically and geographically speaking too, one of the moon's greatest importance is calculation of time afterall the moon determines night and day so we are in order in accordance with how the Almighty creator has designed the Universe. Thanks.

Happy Easter.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dates_for_Easter

. May we live longer than this dates

Qmerit:
Wow !!! I saw "May" and it is obvious no specific day for it.... How is the date known or who fix it? and why not same day like Christmas? Do people celebrate western too? For me all the dates are in assumption and if so, which date was the real "Good Friday"? I once asked my CRS teacher same questions and I was sent out of the class for asking confusing questions according the him...

lol, actually the council of Nicea in the year 323 came together to choose a particular period of time to celebrate the resurrection of Christ because different factions of the church celebrated it on different days,their decision was that Easter will be the Sunday following the Jewish Passover day,according to the bible, Jesus celebrated the Passover on Thursday where he instituted the Holy communion,after the feast he was betrayed by Judas,on Friday he was crucified (Jewish day of preparation) and Sunday he arose(after 3 days),in those days there were no calendars as we have now, so days and even hours of the days were determined by the sun and moon by every one in the world, it was with this they calculated every feast including the Passover,some will argue that Easter was pagan because it was calculated with the sun and moon and I will tell them that even the calender we use was calculated with the sun, moon and equinox,even geography will tell u that there are 24 hours in a day because it takes 24 hours for the earth to rotate round the sun, the same goes for the calculation of leap year etc.

Zonacom:
No mind them.
Happy Easter!

You need to mind them since the Catholic Church is not the first church as widely believed to be maybe you need to do more findings to know that

I'm glad you took out time to elaborate on this for people like me to know better.
Sorry, but in church today my Pst said nothing like easter celebration that it is called "resurrection day" that there was a feast already called easter on that same day...do you know anything about that pls? You know since it was not Sunday school i can't be asking all these questions lols

Easter is an English word derived from the German word oster which in turn is modified from the German name auferstehen meaning resurrection,well the English brought the gospel to us,so we use the term Easter,in those days when Latin and Hebrew were used it was called paschal(something like that) from the original Hebrew word pesach which what is written in as Passover in our English bible. as you know the bible was not originally written in English,infact it was translated into many languages before English,even the name Jesus is not the original name of our saviour it was more like IHEOS,so your pastor is right in calling it resurrection day, I always advocate for Christians to know their root and how this religion really began, most of this things I'm telling you even my pastor might not know them, but I believe without knowing the history of christainity and how it evolved you will easily be deceived by atheists, read good history books and above all pray for wisdom, personally I stay away from Jehovah witnesses versions because I have found most of their histories to be false

***Have you ever wondered why the date of Easter Sunday changes from year to year? Here's an excerpt.
''Father Dr Fredrick Njoroge, a chaplain
at Moi University’s main campus,
explained that since the year 325, Easter
Sunday has been timed to occur after
March 21.
He said the dates were determined by
calculations by mathematicians and
astrologers sanctioned by the Catholic
Church centuries ago.
The church, he said, currently knows the
date of the annual Easter Sunday until
the year 4099.
“If Jesus does not come back before
4099, we already have the dates,” Dr
Njoroge said.
Because of the irregular nature of the
moon’s rotation patterns, the full moon
can occur in March or April, which
explains why Easter dates change from
year to year.
Next year’s Easter Sunday will be on
April 16 while the 2018 one will be on
April 1.
“Easter can occur as early as March 22 or
as late as April 25, which now tells us
why sometimes it will fall within April''.

Happy Easter.

Which Islamic heritage or principles are you talking about
? Mind you, Christiandom predates Islam. Look up again, as at when the fixing of the dates started, Muhammed has not been born.
Thank you.
