Notes:-
For Western (Catholic, Anglican, and Protestant)
Christian, and for the Eastern (Orthodox) Christian
traditions.
Easter Sunday is the date of the annual celebration
of Christ's resurrection. The aim of the Easter Dating
Method is to maintain, for each Easter Sunday, the
same season of the year and the same relationship
to the preceding astronomical full moon that occurred
at the time of His resurrection in 30 A.D.
Orthodox churches celebrate their Easter always on
the basis of the Julian calendar and the "19
Paschal Full Moon dates" table. The dates for
Orthodox Easter Sunday shown above are for the Gregorian
calendar equivalent, i.e. the calendar used today
in the UK. The Julian calendar date Thursday October
4, 1582 was followed by the Gregorian calendar date
Friday October 15, 1582. The 10 dates October 5 to
14 were removed.
In some years the Orthodox Easter Sunday occurs on
the same day as the Western Easter Sunday.
