Why does Easter fall on different days and months of the year?

I believed that Easter is the Celebration of Jesus rising up from the cross. Why can’t they pin point the exact date of this occurance and call it Easter?

Mostly because of this thing called “leap year”. And also because of the moon. I’m SERIOUS! Check it out in my source spot!

Answer by TickleMeGordo
It’s because Easter Sunday is related to Passover. Passover is a holiday on the Jewish moon-based calendar, so the exact date varies from year to year. I believe there’s a 13-year cycle of the dates, but when leap years are factored in, then it changes by a day every so often.

Answer by Mom
It is determined by the phase of the moon.

Answer by phatspasm
It’s because of the moon phases, the seasonal variances brought on by leap years, and by the way, they can’t pinpoint the day because it’s a myth. You cannot raise someone from the dead. I tried. Notice not one witness saw him alive, they all think they might have. Do you think that because christmas is the same day every year that they pinpointed the exact day of christ’s birth? Maybe you should start questioning the information you have been given, and the source.

It has nothing to do with leap year. Easter shifts along with the Gregorian calendar!! I know there is tons of advanced calculations that determine the date!!

Answer by islandbunny
Easter is actually a pagan tradition absorbed by Catholics and eventually the rest of christendom. As in the old days before it was tied into the concept of Jesus being raised from the dead it was calucated according to the moon. Seriously!!!! The only difference is now it the church calculating it instead of pagans.
