Easter is set according to phases of the moon and not by date, this is why it varies. ANSWER Historians are not as certain about the birth of Christ in relation to the Hebrew calendar. Easter is more certain and then can be transfered to the standard calendar used by the modern Western world. Christmas, in addtion to the birth of Christ, is a huge boon for retailers. For convenience reasons, it is a set and well established date. In reality, Christ's birth would vary like Easter because his birth was marked on the Hebrew calendar. The calendars do not transfer exactly. Easter is a good example.
