Here's a look back on why we celebrate Easter, why the date is different every year and other special days associated with the season.

Easter for western Christians can never occur before March 22 or later than April 25 , according to the Astronomical Applications Department.

Easter varies every year because the date depends on the moon, sort of. The holiday coincides with the first Sunday after the paschal full moon, which is the first full moon after the vernal equinox, or the first day of astronomical spring, according to Almanac.com.
