April 17
I found my mistake. It's not on or after the first full moon, it's the Sunday following the full Moon which falls on or after the Spring equinox.
Because April 24, 2011 is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox 2011.
Easter always falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the first day of spring. In other words the order would be: 1. First day of spring 2. First full moon after first day of spring 3. First Sunday after the first full moon is Easter
Easter is the first Sunday, after the first full moon, after the spring equinox. The Equinox is March 20th, but there is a full moon just before that. The NEXT full moon is April 18th, which is a Monday. So that pushes Easter out another 6 days...
First full moon.
The date of Easter is always:The first Sunday afterThe first full moon afterThe first day of Spring.The Vernal Equinox is the first day of Spring. Sometime after that, from a day to three and a half weeks later, will be the first full moon of Spring. The next Sunday after that first full moon of Spring is always Easter. It can be anywhere from about the 22nd of March to the 25th of April.
Easter takes place on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox.
It is the day before the first full moon after Spring Equinox.
Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the start of spring
Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox. The equinox is march 20th and the first full moon after that is march 21st, which is a Friday. Easter falls on Sunday the 23rd. The latest Easter could be is if the moon is full one day before the equinox and the equinox happens to be monday. The next full moon would be about 27 days after the equinox. Easter then fall in or around the 24th.
No. April 2, 2011 was not a full moon. The full moon in April 2011 happened on April 17.
A spring tide occurs during the full moon phase of the moon. This is also known as the new moon phase and the moon is located between the earth and the sun.
