Easter, also called Pasch () or Pascha or Resurrection Sunday, is a Christian celebration and cultural holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, described in the Bible's New Testament as having occurred on the third day of his burial following his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary c. 30 AD. It is the culmination of the Passion of Jesus, preceded by Lent (or Great Lent), a 40-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance. Easter falls on the first Sunday after the Paschal full moon — the first full moon on or after March 21. That is why it moves between March 22 and April 25.

Why does the date move?
The Christian year mixes two kinds of dates. Fixed feasts like Christmas and Epiphany fall on the same calendar day every year. Movable feasts — Easter and everything anchored to it, from Ash Wednesday to Pentecost — are set by a lunar rule: Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after March 21. Orthodox churches apply the same rule on the older Julian calendar, which is why Orthodox Easter and Christmas usually differ from the Western dates.
