Easter 🐰 is always the Sunday after first full moon after March 21st.
The scriptures define it that way, it doesn’t matter if calendar spring is on March 19, 20, 21 or 22nd.
The earliest Easter can occur is March 22 if the full moon is March 22, which means Good Friday is on March 20th.
The latest Easter can occur is April 25th.
In 1943, the first full moon after March 21st was Tuesday April 20th which put Easter on April 25. That’s because the March full moon was on March 21st and the scripture says the full moon must be after March 21. This will happen again in 2038.
