    How is the yearly date for Passover and Easter determined?

    Question #44127. Asked by Hamlet.. (Feb 07 04 6:42 PM)

    		Easter Day is the Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox (March 21st). If there’s a full moon actually on the equinox, Easter is the next Sunday.

    Thus, in 2004 the next full moon after March 21 is on Monday April 5, and Easter is the following Sunday, April 11.

    I tried Carter's Method and for 2004 it came up with April 11th.
