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.

And this year, 2013, it is celebrated on March 31st. 2  Easter has everything to do with Jesus. 3  It is the celebration of His resurrection and victory over the grave.
