The Easter or Pascha date is determined by four main factors. The first two have been established by Apostolic canon, making them binding, and the last two have been established by church tradition. The history of determining Easter dates has been complex and sometimes controversial, but the following pre-conditions provide a general summary. The Easter date is set according to the Julian or Old Calendar and this date must be: 1) after the Vernal (Spring) Equinox, and 2) after the Jewish Passover, and 3) with the first full moon in Spring, and 4) on a Sunday after 21 March.

Easter is celebrated on different days each year because it is based on the lunar calendar, which is different from the solar calendar that most people use.

This is why Easter falls on different dates, usually between March 22 and April 25.

When is the date of Holy Thursday?

Holy Thursday is always three days before Easter. Easter is calculated to follow Passover which is based on the lunar calendar. In 2009, Easter will be on Sunday, April 12 and Holy Thursday will be on Thursday, April 9. Catholics and most Protestants use the new Gregorian calendar decreed by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582 to calculate the date of Easter. The time of Easter is based on the cycles of the moon, the equinox, and seasons and things in nature. In simple (?) terms Easter occurs on the first Sunday following the first full moon that occurs on or after the day of the vernal equinox (the first day of spring). In 2009 the vernal equinox will be on Friday, March 20. The first full moon after that will be Thursday, April 9. Thus, Easter will be on Sunday, April 12 and Holy Thursday will be on Thursday, April 9.
