How is the Date of Easter Determined?

- How is the date for Easter determined? The date for Easter is calculated as the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox. The vernal equinox is the day of the year in the Spring when the day and the night are of equal length.
We know that Easter must be on a Sunday since all of the gospels clearly indicate that Jesus rose from the dead on the first day of the week. We also know that Jesus was celebrating Passover during the Last Supper. So Easter must fall on a Sunday around Passover each year. Passover is on the first full moon after the vernal equinox.

Thank you for this nice explanation :)
Totally avoided the question: how can someones death and resurrection day vary from year to year. Like saying your birthday changes each year depending on the fase of the Moon. Not the actual day you were born. He simply shows the movement of the Earth and Moon in relation to the Sun.
Because its paganism
Easter seems random and arbitrary, but that's because we use a solar annual calendar. If we used a lunar calendar Easter would be "Sunday of the week that begins on or after the 15th of the 3rd month" where that is the lunar month when the northern spring equinox happens before the 14th. To this day we keep special days that change their dates every year such as Bank Holiday Mondays or Mother's Day.
Whenever you choose to celebrate birthday, it will be relative to something. Who said the solar year is the one and only right thing to relate to?
Because it's not true. Easter is yet another pagan holiday hijacked by the church to convince people to convert. Christians celebrating a pagan holiday are just too stupid to know it.
And he did not avoid any questions. You just can’t comprehend.
This is awesome. Dark to Light
Thank you for this informative video. As Easter was formulated at a time when the southern hemisphere was largely unknown, I wonder how this festival celebrating increased light, resurrection of nature and new growth applies to the southern hemisphere where Easter occurs after the Fall Equinox, (although after the full moon and Sunday, as in the northern hemisphere)?
Easter face you understand why the holidays now ?
Good illustration. I clearly see how the new moon and full moon work. The stars, moon and sun are for signs. “And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. God made two great lights-the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.”
Genesis 1:14-18
That’s an incredibly ecocentric view of the universe; it’s arrogant and unsubstantiated.
Say what you will about holidays that only occur on a certain day at least their predictable
My ears are bleeding because I listened with headphones. Have you ever tried keeping your levels under clipping while recording audio???
Where in the Bible does it say it has to be the first full moon after the vernal equinox? Or is it someone’s interpretation of a verse?
that's what i'm trying to find out
Sola scriptura is your problem.
New moon is the first day of the every months. wanna verse of the bible?
The Last supper happened during the Passover (as stated in the Bible). Jews celebrated the said feast during the full moon after the vernal equinox.
We can deal with that by spliting it even more and doing a press up with the right arm with the left side cut off with no grey areas in sight
How is Orthodox easter determined and why is it on a different date than the Catholic?
@You can eat in class!! but how would that affect Easter since it is based on weekdays, seasons, and the moon, none of which are different between Julian and Gregorian?
@@samuelvink1482 orthodox Easter is celebrated the first sunday after the full moon after vernal equinox but also must be after passover. Other easter is just first sunday after full moon , after the vernal equinox.
In 1582 the Catholic church was anxious that Easter should not move too far from the Vernal Equinox. The rule to calculate Easter was, not that the full moon must be after the Vernal Equinox, but it must be on or after March 21, a specific calendar date. However because the Julian calendar was too long, the spring equinox was moving backwards in the year, away from March 21. To fix the problem Pope Gregory XIII snipped 10 days out of the calendar and introduced a new calendar rule that kept March 21 to be within a day of the equinox. In addition the moon's phases had shifted over the course of 1,200 years so that the tabular position of the full moon was several days later than the actual full moon. So the new way of calculating the new moon started by changing the first number in the table from 8 to 1, and a new rule to account for the moon phase shift as well as the new calendar rule which drops a Feb 29th 3 times every 400 years. (The first value in the table is currently -1)
The Orthodox Easter keeps with the original rule for calculating Easter (that the first number in the table is still 8 and never changes) and continues to apply the rule to the dates of the Julian calendar, currently 13 days behind the Gregorian. This makes Orthodox Easter generally later than Gregorian. Orthodox Easter can happen as late as May in the Gregorian calendar, which was the situation that the Gregorian rules were introduced in order to avoid, specifically that at least 2 full moons pass after the actual astronomical Equinox before Easter is celebrated.
I know I'm late, but Easter is not dependent on being after Passover at all. Easter was 23 March in 2008 and 27 March in 2016. In the current Metonic cycle, the 1st day of Nisan is never earlier than March 12, whereas the Christian equivalent lunar month begins on March 9 in 2008 and 2027, and on March 10 in 2016 and 2035, so Easter is guaranteed to be earlier than Passover in those years (and it's generally a month earlier when it is).
I always thought that Sunday was the last day of the week not the first. The reason people go to church on Sunday and not Saturday.
I was born April 17. I seen a lot of the years between April 17 to be 11 years. What is it with moon and 11 years.
I guess 1960 there wore all tiring to do the Moon.
The moon didn't want to be violatated
WRONG!
Passover is not determined by the equinox, thats the pagan way to determine a pagan easter. Thats why easter and passover is about 1 month apart in 2016.
Passover is determined by the Barley is Abib as is stated in the Bible.
(Deuteronomy 16:1)
Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the LORD thy God:
for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of
Egypt by night.
Wrong! No it's not.
Acousticsdriver is right.
Passover was a type of “renewal” ceremony as “firstborn sons” was a euphemism for that family’s success in future heirs/lineage. Any unbelieving Jews who did not mark their doors would have suffered the same fate as the gentile Egyptians. Therefore, after Passover, the Jewish families were blessed with fruitful inheritance (since they now had a head start on their Egyptian counterparts).
Understanding this concept allows you to understand that the month of Abib happened during a comparable time as the resurrection of Christ. The Jewish people were freed from captivity and given blessings to thrive and that is exactly what happened after the resurrection of Christ.
It also makes sense when you compare the sense of a year to the sense of a day.
What about Easter for people who live in the Southern Hemisphere
What about Christmas for them? Easter is the same date there as everywhere, in March or April. Easter is calculated according to "the Northern hemisphere Vernal equinox", which in the Southern hemisphere is the Autumnal equinox, not the Vernal, but they still celebrate Easter on the same day. And for them (outside the tropics, that is) Christmas is in the summer.
Hallelujah 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Why is Sunday the first day of the week if God rested on the 7th day which I thought was Sunday?
Saturday is the sabbath and always has been.
I think these videos would be more successful if you didn’t take such long pauses and maybe reheard what you’re going to say so it sounds better. You can tell you’re reading. Just trying to give some constructive criticism because this channel has so much potential!! Just makes me sad that I get audibly aggravated when listening to these because of the narrator’s delivery
😮😮😮🙋🏽♀️
For Easter to fall on April fools day is a mockery to the Most High, and that's nothing to joke about.
The real mockery is to call Passover "Easter" and to celebrate a pagan goddess of fertility. Read your/ look up the history of easter " astra, isthar, or Ostara, etc. ".
@@robertmitchell8151 very true
@@robertmitchell8151 Easter is just an English word, get out of your English language bubble. People are celebrating the resurrection of Christ. Don't call it Easter then (even though the Bible talks about Christ coming from the East), call is pasch. Spanish speaking people call is pascua.
@@gerardos256 So I will ignore your snide remark and ask you where does Easter and the resurrection have a connection with a pagan word adopted by the Catholic church in whatever language???
And what does Christ's coming from the East have to do with Easter. I assume you are referring to the second coming? The evolvement of the pagan Babylonian/Assyrian fertility goddess word incorporated into Christian beliefs is an abomination to God which you condone.
So, I am therefore assuming you celebrate Lent, Halloween, Valentines Day, and especially Christmas /New Years and ignore God's true holy days as commanded in the Bible???
@@robertmitchell8151 yes I celebrate those also :).
Making the flat face into a easter face the spliting it in half with the left side with a poop twirl on it and the right side having a C square as a date on a chicken drumstick
its pretty hard to get 3 days and 3 nights from Friday evening to Early Sunday morning before sunrise. ... His resurrection was on the 1st day but he could not have died on Friday.. Plus God and his disciples never taught us to keep his resurrection with rabbits and eggs... Do the research, and u will find out that Easter is Pagan sex Goddess, , she is called The Dawn Goddess, , she also known as Eostre,Eastar,Astarte, Ashtoreth, that name is in the old testament, , it shows that they were worshipping Her before the birth of Christ... So this Holiday is Pre Christian...
Scripture NEVER said he was in the GRAVE for 3 days and 3 nights..
“Do the research” lol
God came first.
Any false idols that lie about God are false idols.
Ishtar, the Easter Goddess is a false idol of a true teaching.
If you do not know the first chain in the chain link, you will be very confused.
Rabbit are part of the Protestant Protestant traditions not orthodox
Is is Jewish way of calculating days
@@slicksweet1 Read Mathew 12:40.... That is pretty solid scripture.
Doesn't the earth go the other way around the sun?
Correct. When looking from the north (in a downwards direction for this illustration), the earth will revolve around the sun in a counterclockwise direction. By the way the earth will rotate on its axis in a counterclockwise direction as well.
This can't be true because Easter is in March this year, and the full moon comes before the vernal equinox. Going to keep looking for the answer because clearly you don't have it.
The vernal equinox as calculated by the church does not always correspond to the astronomical equinox.
Parnick Musick No. The church fixed the date of March 21st as always being the start of spring, even though the equinox can occur as early as March 19th in some parts of the world. Also the list of dates for the Pascal Moon don't always coincide with the astronomical full moon.
A bit before the turn of the millennium, the Syriac Church suggested changing this so as to actually follow what Nicaea instructs but the Byzantine Churches rejected unifying the date because, in the immediately ensuing years, it would too frequently correspond to the current Western system instead of theirs. Of course, this is because they follow an astronomically incorrect calendar but they don't care about that.
The church didn’t decide this. The Romans did.
The only thing that truly matters is whether or not you have been Baptized into Christ !
Acts 2:38
Baptism " is " when a person becomes Born Again = ACTS 2:38 = Born of the Water and the Spirit.
You are born again when you ask God for forgiveness and to come into your life. You put away the old life and follow Jesus. You can be baptized as well in the name of the father, son and Holy Ghost or in the name of Jesus.
💫🥴🥴😟🧐 *I think I'm even more confused now* 😒😏 *~ha!* 😆😉
I believe There is a Summer and Winter Season that counts over the whole world and that could mean that some people who live in a region where there during the wintertime no snow falss but its still winter ...
Croc left summer E face right winter
you are wrong ! the first day of the month is new moon if you wanna verse of the bible i can provide you . close of the vernal equinox if there is new moon most determine as the first day of nissan. 1 samuel 20:24 read this verse carefully. and the seventh month first day is feast of trumpet. on that day isrealities must offer the sacrifices saperatly with the offering of new moon .
Terrible audio
Passover Is Either On Day 367 or Day 397, No Other Possibilities Exist.
Strange how the church rejects astrology but their most precious celebration is linked to cosmic events
You are confusing two different things. What you are referring to is astronomy (the study of the heavens) which the Church does not condemn because it is God's creation. What we reject is astrology which is the belief that stars, planets, alignments (the creation of God) somehow determines or predicts something about you. So they have replaced the providence of God to giving the power to creation.
@@gerardos256 sure but what does easter have to do with the moon if cosmic occurrences have no influence on life.
@@aztechsa it does have an influence on life, as much as weather and seasons go. God made order, seasons, the moon, the sun all have an order and a reason. So using the order God gave us is not wrong. What is wrong is believing that somehow if the stars are aligned that means it will determine my fate, you have created the creature to have power over you. You have removed the providence of God. In regards to Easter it has to do with how the Hebrews viewed their calendar, all calenders are based on the movement of the sun/moon, looking at order. Even Jesus rebuked the Jews for knowing how to discern seasons, yet couldn't discern his coming. Not that the discerning the season is bad but the fact they couldn't discern his coming.
@@gerardos256 if jesus rebuked the method of using the moon , why do Christians apply it then today as followers of christ. It makes no sense
@@gerardos256 Christianity is merely an anthropomorphic version of solar/lunar worship.
Still simpler than calculating diwali
Yeshua /Jesus THE WAY....later known as Christianity credited to Paul Peter etc....When the SAINTS GO MARCHn in
so easter is moved around based on astrological configurations..and yet it says in the bible to not involve your self with astrology ? lmao. good job guys.
Gabriel Enriquez: That is not astrology. It is ASTRONOMY. It is a well defined science. This should make you cry out loud rather than lol.
Based on the creation story the writers had to learn astronomy so it’s all baseless.
Weird cause I thought Jesus resurrected on the same day, someone is lying I’m guessing it’s the religious people spreading lies go figure
the zoadiac
Wrong I believe...... the closest to the sun is winter.
this is so stupid, i wish i never asked the question😢
I'd give up your pagan holidays if I were you, the heavenly Father has no interest in the strange fire of paganism, and it may cost you dearly.
APPOINTED unto man.....the way of all flesh or Yeshua THE WAY Abba the author of the story that solves all man's troubles ain't no myth no tale..TRUTH ABSOLUTE PURE ONLY WAY TO THE FATHER AND WHAT HE WANTS FOR ALL
This is all based on celestial events and pagan festivals. It has zero to do with the death of Christ. A death would be commemorated on the same day every year. There's no reason why it has to be a Sunday. Sorry to be harsh but you contradicted yourself and were stumbling around. I do not think there is any shame in admitting where the traditions of celebrations came from.
Came from Paganism
Everyone can celebrate it regardless of location; God placed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month of Israel's calendar- permanently. The catholic church "moved" it to sunday- as they did the immovable Sabbath- because they're the Harlot of Babylon (Rev 17.)
My Father in Heaven didn’t make a BALL for me to live on.
The Sun and Moon move over my head.
