Answer
Easter sunday is the sunday following the first full moon on or after the vernal (spring) equinox. it can be any date between 21 march and 25 april.
this arrangement was decided by the synod of nice
a in ad325. the decision was made so as to regularise the varing factions within the christian churches and to bring them together to celebrate the most holy of christian dates.
