Cycles of Easter

The Cycles of Easter are a method used to determine the date of Easter each year. Since Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the full moon following the spring equinox, its date varies annually. The "cycles" involve lunar and solar calculations, using traditional algorithms that account for lunar months, solar years, and ecclesiastical rules, to find the precise date for Easter. These cycles help churches and scholars synchronize the observance of Easter across different regions, ensuring it aligns with the historical and astronomical context while maintaining consistency within the Christian liturgical calendar.
