Easter 2027 falls on Sunday, 28 March 2027 for Western churches. Easter Sunday is always on a Sunday, but the date shifts each year because it follows the Moon rather than a fixed day on the Gregorian calendar.
Easter Sunday is defined as the first Sunday after the first full Moon following the spring equinox — the so-called Paschal Moon, set by a 4th-century ecclesiastical rule. That is why Easter can land anywhere between 22 March and 25 April. Eastern Orthodox churches use a slightly different calculation, so Orthodox Pascha often falls on a different Sunday.
