Easter dating clash in early church history
The origin of Easter dates from debates between Eastern and Western churches after Christ. Eastern observers tied Easter to Passover and the Paschal Lamb, while Western observers celebrated on the first Sunday after the fourteenth day of Nisan. The Council of Nicaea in 325 AD sided with the Western method, and Easter now falls on the first Sunday after the vernal equinox and full moon.
