Christmas is defined, like many feast days, as a calendar day. Easter (and Ash Wednesday and Lent between them) is defined based on the lunar calendar, with Easter being the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox. The lunar cycle does not match the calendar cycle, because there is not an even number of lunar months within a calendar (solar) year. So Easter can fall anywhere between the dates of March 22 to April 25. On the Julian calendar (Eastern Orthodox), it is between April 4 and May 8.
