Easter is on the first Sunday AFTER the first full moon AFTER the Spring Equinox (Mar 20)......
For 2009 the next full moon after Mar 20th is April 9 (Thursday)...so Easter is April 12th for 2009 jc

I don't quite know...never figured it out or worried about it:. For my last 70 years, I just waited for the bunny t'show up with the colored eggs and candy. That usually meant it was Easter! :-)

I don't know how they come up with the date, but I do know Easter 2011 is on my 30th birthday. My mom and I have waited my whole life for that.

Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox.

from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter
"Easter is termed a movable Christian holy day because it is not fixed in relation to the civil calendar. Easter falls at some point between late March and late April each year (early April to early May in Eastern Christianity), following the cycle of the moon."
