Quickly determine the exact date of Easter Sunday for any year, past or future. Our intuitive Easter Date Calculator uses the traditional Gregorian calendar algorithm to provide precise results, helping you plan holidays, events, or simply satisfy your curiosity about this movable feast.
Formula:
The date of Easter Sunday is a movable feast, determined by a complex set of calculations based on astronomical events: the vernal equinox and the first full moon. For Western Christianity (Gregorian calendar), Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first ecclesiastical full moon that occurs on or after March 21.
Our calculator employs the precise Meeus/Jones/Butcher algorithm (a refined version of Gauss's algorithm) to accurately determine Easter Sunday's date for any specified year.
