Easter is held on the first Sunday after the first full moon occurring on or after the the northern hemisphere's spring equinox which is on the 21st of March. Easter is delayed by 1 week if the full moon is on Sunday. Easter can only be between the 22nd of March and the 25th of April. The first full moon after the 21st of March in 2014 was on Tuesday the 15th of April. The following Sunday was the 20th of April, and so that was Easter Sunday in 2014.
