Did You Know
Easter can fall on any Sunday between 22 March and 25 April. There was huge controversy in the early Christian Church over the setting of the date for the resurrection of Jesus. Consensus wasn't reached until AD 325, when the Council of Nicaea decreed that Easter should be observed on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the spring equinox (21 March).
