    The date of Easter varies in a manner too complicated to summarize in a simple formula, and in most years differs between the usage of Western and Eastern Christianity (and the usages of the countries where they are respectively more influential).
    Following the Council of Nicaea, the date for Easter was completely divorced from the Jewish calendar and its computations for Passover. Thereafter, in principle, Easter fell on the Sunday following the full moon that follows the Northern spring equinox (the so-called Paschal Full Moon). However, the vernal equinox and the full moon were not determined by astronomical observation. Instead, the vernal equinox was fixed to fall on the 21st day of March, while the full moon (known as the ecclesiastical full moon) was fixed at 14 days after the beginning of the ecclesiastical lunar month (known as the ecclesiastical new moon). Easter thus falls on the Sunday after the ecclesiastical full moon. The computus is the procedure of determining the first Sunday after the first ecclesiastical full moon falling on or after 21 March and the difficulty arose from doing this over the span of centuries without accurate means of measuring the precise solar or lunar years.
    The model that was worked out assumes that 19 tropical years have the same duration as 235 synodic months (modern value: 234.997).[1]
    Since the 16th century, there have been differences in the calculation of Easter between the Western and Eastern Churches. The Roman Catholic Church since 1583 has been using 21 March under the Gregorian calendar to calculate the date of Easter, while the Eastern Orthodox continued and continue to use 21 March under the Julian Calendar. The Catholic and Protestant denominations thus use an ecclesiastical full moon that occurs four to five days earlier than the eastern one.
    The accompanying table provides both sets of dates, for recent decades and forthcoming years - see the Computus article for more details on the calculation.

    Don't know about Eastern Christianity but in Western Christianity Easter is always: The First Sunday - after the first Full moon - after the Vernal Equinox. Nothing complicated about that in my mind. Since the full moon is always at a different time in the month, so is Easter.

    The Pagans celebrated the death and rebirth of life in the Spring on the Equinox. The Church - in order to bring the Pagans into the fold, and realizing they couldn't get the Pagans to give up their holidays- simply used the same Holidays, sometimes with a twist. The Resurrection is also about death and the rebirth of life. I believe it was Constantine who decided (along with the Church's prompting) to change it to a Sunday, so in order to connect it to the natural rhythms of Nature that the Pagans naturally responded to - they came up with the formula above.
    Blessed are the cracked, for they are the ones who let in the light!

    I came into this world on Easter Sunday near to midday the date has never returned -Unique just like the rest of us. My father & mother had gone to the Ideal Home Exhibition, and I arrived before lunch. I have spent half my life building- funny that!

    This coming Easter is on April Fool's day, and looks like it won't happen again until 2029! Prepare for a foolish Easter
