Why Easter Dates Change This Year
Easter falls on April 10 this year and could range from March 22 to April 25. The date shifts due to the lunar calendar rule from AD 325, summoning a fixed Sunday after the 14th day of the new moon. Simplifying this, many have urged a fixed date but tradition still guides the moveable celebration.
