Why Was Easter So Late This Year?

Just in case you need to answer this question while playing Trivia....why does the date of Resurrection Sunday change every year?


Answer;  Because it falls on the first Sunday following the first full moon following the first day of spring, which is always March 21.  

So if we had a full moon on March 20, Easter ends up falling late into April since the April full moon didn’t happen until Good Friday.
