With Easter coming up, I realized that I had no idea how they pick what day will be Easter. I looked it up:
Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon that occurs on or after the vernal (spring) equinox.
The vernal equinox is fixed as March 21 (even though the actual equinox can vary by a day).
So, Easter can fall anywhere between March 22 and April 25. This year will be one of the later ones.
