Easter 2026 in detail
In 2026, Easter falls on April 5, a Sunday.
Easter follows a lunar rule and lands between 22 March and 25 April. That is why the date moves from year to year, and why it is worth checking each year rather than assuming last year's.
Easter is the oldest feast of the Christian calendar, and the rule for its date is associated with the Council of Nicaea in 325: the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after March 21. The rule uses a moon tabulated by the church rather than the astronomical one, which is why the computed date occasionally differs from what the sky would suggest. Lent, Ascension and Pentecost are all counted from it.
