Looking for info for my personal knowledge not trying to slander anyone. If you were born on a given day, didn't you also die on a given day? Then to rise in glory three days later, that too should be a given date. Thank You and Enjoy the Holiday.

The First Council of Nicaea established the date of Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) following the northern hemisphere's vernal equinox. Ecclesiastically, the equinox is reckoned to be on 21 March

Sometimes Easter has fallen in March because of this.

Easter is according to the Lunar Calendar, and it has to fall on a Sunday because that the day Jesus resurrected

Because easter is a moveable Christian feast that falls on the first Sunday after the fist full moon after the Spring equinox.

Christmas is a "birthday" of Jesus. Just like your birthday its the same date every year just a different day. Easter it suppose to mark the 3rd day after jesus resurrection so every year as the calendar moves over a day it will still be 3 days after he was resurrected changing the date.

The Jew delusionist had lunar Passover, the Christian delusionist needed a lunar Resurrection to compete.
