When Is Easter 2024 And 2025

Easter, a Christian holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, falls on a different date each year. Unlike many holidays with fixed dates, Easter's date is determined by the lunar calendar and the Gregorian calendar. This means the date shifts annually.

Calculating Easter Sunday

The precise calculation of Easter Sunday is a complex process, but the basic principle is this: Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon. The Paschal Full Moon is the full moon that occurs on or after the spring equinox (March 20 or 21 in the Northern Hemisphere).

This method ensures that Easter Sunday always falls sometime between March 22nd and April 25th.

Easter Dates: 2024 and 2025

Here are the confirmed dates for Easter Sunday in the years you requested:

  • Easter Sunday 2024: March 31st
  • Easter Sunday 2025: April 20th

These dates are consistent across most Christian denominations. However, some Eastern Orthodox churches utilize a different calculation method, resulting in a potentially different date for Easter. The differences stem from variations in the calculation of the Paschal Full Moon and the use of different calendars.
