The Council of Nicaea (325) established that Easter Sunday would be the first Sunday after the full moon following the northern hemisphere's spring equinox. This means that in Catholic and Protestant churches, the date varies between 22nd March and 25th April. In Orthodox churches which follow a different calender, the possible dates are 4th April and 8th May.
