Historical background:
Easter is the first Sunday after the full moon at the spring equinox every year. Because the vernal equinox is not fixed every year, the exact date of Easter is uncertain, but the holiday period is roughly between March 22 and April 25.
As a traditional festival in the west, the origin of Easter comes from the Roman emperor Constantine I, who held the first Nicaean public meeting in 325 A.D. and made Easter Sunday. Since then, it is usually held on the first Sunday after the full moon at the vernal equinox. If the full moon falls on Sunday, it will be delayed for a week.
