The 21st of March was when the vernal equinox (or Spring equinox) occured at the time of the First Ecumenical Council in 325 AD, whereas in recent times it occurs on 10th or 11th of March. Easter has always been, and is still celebrated after the vernal equinox, ie. after the 21st of March, in order to comply with the ruling of the Ecumenical Council.
