No, Easter Sunday has never been in May. Easter is a movable feast, meaning the date changes each year; however Easter always falls between about March 22th to April 25th.

The date of Easter is based on the spring vernal equinox (when the sun passes through the vernal equinox, signifying the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere).Easter always occurs on the Sunday after the first full moon of the vernal equinox.

To find the date of Easter in the past, you use online algorithms, such as the one shown below in the related links section.

In the original Orthodox Catholic Faith, unchanged since the time of Christ Jesus Himself and His apostles, we often have Pascha in May. This year, 2021, it is Pascha starting in the late evening on Sat 1st May, with Paschal service usually at 11pm ... then the Divine Liturgy (eucharist) at 10am next Morning, 2nd May.

In 2025 it is on the eve of 4th May, with Sunday service on 5th.
