Easter Sunday is the third day from Good Friday.
Easter usually comes in the month of April. However, Easter Sunday can fall on any date as early as Mar 22 or as late as Apr 25.
Easter is called a movable feast b'cos the date of Easter changes every year. The reason for this variation in the date of Easter is based on the lunar calendar (moon) rather than our more well-known solar one. Easter always falls on the 1st Sunday following the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) either on or after Spring Equinox (Mar20/21). If the Full Moon falls on a Sunday then Easter is the nxt Sunday.
