Is Easter celebrated in Australia?
The complicated dating for Easter was set in 325 at the Council of Nicaea, which scheduled the festival to be celebrated on the first Sunday following the full moon occurring next after the vernal equinox (about March 21); however, if the full moon occurs on a Sunday, Easter will be celebrated the following Sunday. Hence, the date of Easter can fluctuate between March 22 and April 25. Because the Western churches (Catholic and Protestant) now follow the Gregorian calendar, the Eastern churches, which follow the unrevised Julian calendar, celebrate Easter (and other Church holidays) on different dates. In the Orthodox Churches, Easter marks the beginning of the ecclesiastical year. As related above, Australian Protestants and Roman Catholics clebrate Easter on the same date as their European and American counterparts, while the many Orthodox Christians celebrate with their European counterparts.

What religion celebrates Easter Sunday on Sunday May 5 2013?
Eastern Orthodox Churches, including the Russian Orthodox and Greek Orthodox Churches for example, still use the Julian calendar to calculate the date of Easter.The Julian calendar was replaced by the Gregorian calendar beginning in 1582 because March 21, which had been accepted to be the date of the vernal equinox, was drifting away from the actual vernal equinox under the Julian calendar at the rate of an extra day every 128 years.It had been determined that Easter should never fall before the vernal equinox, so one of the rules governing the date of Easter is that it never falls earlier than the 22nd of March. The Eastern Orthodox Churches follow the rule that Easter never falls earlier than the 22nd of March of the Julian calendar, which is the 4th of April on the Gregorian calendar during most of this century. And since Easter is always the Sunday after a full moon (by calculation, not observation, contrary to popular belief), the Eastern Easter is often a month after the Western Easter.
