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.
Easter is a Christian festival or holy-day that commemorates the resurrection of Jesus on the third day after his crucifixion. Taken together, the crucifixion and resurrection form the central events of the Christian faith.ome trace the word âEasterâ to the German fertility goddess Eostra, who in some traditions was even associated with hares. 8 However, more and more scholars think it may have come from a Norse word for âspring,â which in the Germanized form is ostern.
