Western Easter

Western Easter is a Christian holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, observed primarily by Western Christian denominations. It falls on the first Sunday after the full moon that occurs on or after the spring equinox, typically between March 22 and April 25. This dating method combines solar and lunar calendars, leading to variations each year. The holiday signifies renewal and hope, with traditions such as church services, festive meals, and egg-related symbols. Western Easter's date is independently calculated from Easter in the Eastern Orthodox Church, leading to occasional differences in celebration dates.
