Why doesn't Easter fall on the same date every year?
Show answer & explanation
Answer: It follows a spring moon-and-Sunday rule
It follows a spring moon-and-Sunday rule ✓ — Correct! In Western Christianity, Easter is set as the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the spring equinox, so its date moves each year.
Church leaders pick a new date each year — Wrong. Easter follows a rule-based calculation, not a new annual choice by church leaders.
It is fixed to April's first Sunday — Wrong. Easter is not simply April's first Sunday; it can fall from late March to late April.
