Easter falls late this year, on April 20.
The religious holiday doesn’t fall on the same date each year. That’s because the date is based on the lunar calendar. Easter comes on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox, which was on March 20. That means Easter could fall anywhere from March 22 to April 25.
