Next year the equinox will take place on its usual date of 20 March, with the next full moon on 28 March – the Sunday exactly a week before Easter. Roegel, Denis (24 November 2004).

Fish is the traditional food of choice for Good Friday suppers, while some devout Christians opt to fast instead in memory of the sacrifice given by Jesus Christ.

So the first allowable date of Easter is March 22 + d + 0, as Easter is to celebrate the Sunday after the ecclesiastical full moon; that is, if the full moon falls on Sunday 21 March, Easter is to be celebrated 7 days after, while if the full moon falls on Saturday 21 March, Easter is the following 22 March.

The Alexandrian computus was converted from the Alexandrian calendar into the Julian calendar in Alexandria around 440, which resulted in a Paschal table (attributed to pope Cyril of Alexandria) covering the years 437 to 531. [14] This Paschal table was the source which inspired Dionysius Exiguus, who worked in Rome from about 500 to about 540, [15] to construct a continuation of it in the form of his famous Paschal table covering the years 532 to 616. [16] Dionysius introduced the Christian Era (counting years from the Incarnation of Christ) by publishing this new Easter table in 525. [17] [c]

The second part is finding e, the additional offset days that must be added to the date offset d to make it arrive at a Sunday. Since the week has 7 days, the offset must be in the range 0 to 6 and determined by modulo 7 arithmetic. e is determined by calculating 2 b + 4 c + 6 d + N mod 7. These constants may seem strange at first, but are quite easily explainable if we remember that we operate under mod 7 arithmetic. To begin with, 2 b + 4 c ensures that we take care of the fact that weekdays slide for each year.

Easter is just a hop around the corner – with millions of people around the world are preparing to celebrate this Sunday. The modern-day celebration of Easter in the UK is a mixture of pagan and Christian traditions with a sprinkling of commercialism. From the perspective of those who might wish to use the Gregorian Easter cycle as a calendar for the entire year, there are some flaws in the Gregorian lunar calendar [46] (although they have no effect on the paschal month and the date of Easter):

The golden number for 1573 is 16 ( 1573 + 1 = 1574; 1574 ÷ 19 = 82 remainder 16). From the table, the paschal full moon for golden number 16 is 21 March. From the week table 21 March is Saturday. Easter Sunday is the following Sunday, 22 March. Almanac and Astronomical Ephemeris for the year 1931". London: His Majesty's Stationery Office. 1929. While defined as a Christian holiday, Easter has many of its roots in the traditions and rituals of the pagan people who inhabited the United Kingdom before its wide spread conversion to the Christian faith. Scholars believe that Easter was named for “Eostre”, the Anglo-Saxon goddess of the spring.

The eastern Roman Empire accepted it shortly after 380 after converting the computus to the Julian calendar. [62] Rome accepted it sometime between the sixth and ninth centuries. The British Isles accepted it during the eighth century except for a few monasteries. [ citation needed] Francia (all of western Europe except Scandinavia (pagan), the British Isles, the Iberian peninsula, and southern Italy) accepted it during the last quarter of the eighth century.

Dates are given using the system of the Roman calendar, as well as the day of the lunar month.The discrepancies are even larger if there is a difference according to the vernal equinox with respect to astronomical theory and the approximation of the computus. If the astronomical equinoctial full moon falls before the computistical equinoctial full moon, Easter will be celebrated four or even five weeks too late. Such cases are called a positive equinoctial paradox (A+ paradox) according to Lange. In the reverse case when the Computistical equinoctial full moon falls a month before the astronomical equinoctial full moon, Easter is celebrated four or five weeks too early. Such cases are called a negative equinoctial paradox (A− paradox). [67]

You will also notice buns in the shops called hot cross buns, which are eaten to celebrate Easter. These small, lightly sweetened and spiced bread-like buns contain raisins or currants and are eaten toasted with butter smothered on them. This section needs additional citations for verification.

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed.Easter is only ever celebrated by all Christians on the relatively rare occasions when the two calendars align,” she added. As an example, if the epact is 27 (xxvii), an ecclesiastical new moon falls on every date labeled xxvii. The ecclesiastical full moon falls 13 days later. From the table above, this gives a new moon on 4 March and 3 April, and so a full moon on 17 March and 16 April. Wheatly, Charles (1871) [1710].
