What it is

The principal feast of the Christian year. Its date is not announced but computed, from the first Sunday after the first ecclesiastical full moon on or after 21 March - which is why it moves, and why the Western and Orthodox churches can differ by up to five weeks while keeping the same feast. Easter Sunday itself. Orthodox reckoning, shown as its Gregorian civil date.

Also known as Resurrection Sunday, Pascha, Orthodox Easter, Western Easter.
