Easter Sunday falls AFTER the first full moon AFTER the Vernal Equinox.

While the date for the Vernal Equinox is the same every year, the phases of the moon do not fall on the same date. This is why Easter Sunday is a different date each year.

The earliest possible date for Easter Sunday is March 22. The latest possible date is April 25. This year (2011) Easter Sunday falls on April 24.
