Easter Facts That Will Wow Your Friends
14.) Does Everyone Celebrate Easter On the Same Date?
Not everyone celebrates Easter on the same date. Easter has no fixed date. It is based on the lunar calendar. Western Christians use the Gregorian calendar. Eastern Christians use the Julian calendar. This difference results in separate dates for Easter.
Western Christians celebrate Easter on the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring. Eastern Christians celebrate Easter on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox, but only after Passover. This difference can lead to Easter being celebrated weeks apart between Western and Eastern Christians. However, sometimes the dates align, and Easter is celebrated on the same day for both.
