Thus, Easter was Sunday, April 18. The astronomical equinox also occurred on March 21. The next astronomical Full Moon occurred on April 18 at UT=5h. So in some places in the world Easter was on the same Sunday as the astronomical Full Moon.
The ecclesiastical rules are: 1  Easter falls on the first Sunday following the first ecclesiastical full moon that occurs on or after the day of the vernal equinox; 2  this particular ecclesiastical full moon is the 14th day of a tabular lunation (new moon); and. 3  the vernal equinox is fixed as March 21.
