How the Good Friday 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 23 and April 23. How we calculate every date.
