Also... why is it on a different day every year?

Full Question:

How is the date for Easter determined? Last year it was very early.
Answer

Easter falls on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox. If the first full moon occurs on the equinox, Easter is the following Sunday. Thus, Easter can fall anywhere between March 22 and April 25.

Vernal equinox? Full moon? What is this Wiccan shit????
