Why does the easter date move?
We often ask ourselves "When is Easter?" because it moves from year to year. This has been happening ever since the Council of Nicaea (present-day Iznik in Turkey) in the year 325AD, when the Roman Emperor Constantine I got all the early Christian leaders together to fix matters of doctrine and dates of important Christian events such as Easter.
