How the Easter date is worked out

Western churches set Easter as the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after March 21, using church tables rather than the real Moon, so we calculate it with the standard Gregorian algorithm. Easter can fall from March 22 to April 25, and every date tied to it moves with it. From 2026 to 2100 it falls between March 25 and April 25. How we calculate every date.

How many days until Easter in weeks, weekdays and sleeps

The countdown counts calendar days from today to Easter, so on the day before it shows 1. The weeks box splits that into whole weeks and days, the weekdays box counts Monday to Friday (useful for work and school planning, though public holidays are not taken out), and sleeps are the nights left. The timer counts down to midnight at the start of Easter in your own time zone.
