Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after 21 March. Because it follows the moon rather than a fixed date, it can fall anywhere from 22 March to 25 April. Good Friday is always two days before and Easter Monday the day after.
That's why the Easter bank holidays can land in March one year and late April the next – and why school Easter holidays don't always line up with them.
