The rules to determine when Easter falls are -

  1. Easter Day must be on a Sunday;
  2. this Sunday must follow the 14th day of the paschal moon;
  3. the paschal moon is that of which the 14th day (full moon) falls on or next follows the day of the vernal equinox;
  4. the equinox is fixed in the calendar as 21 March. Easter can never occur before 22 March or later than 25 April.

Although Easter can fall at any time between these two dates it is rare for it to fall at either extreme. The last time Easter was on 22 March was AD 1818 and this will next happen in AD 2285. The latest date of 25 April last occured in AD 1943 and will next occur in AD 2038.

I knew that the moon determines Easter, but didn't know the exacts.
