When does Easter 2024 fall? See when Orthodox and Catholic Easter falls in 2024!

See when Easter 2024 falls! Easter is a holiday whose date is variable and on which other holidays depend, such as Pentecost. Two natural phenomena are taken into account to calculate the exact date of the Easter holidays.

The way in which the day when Easter falls is established was established in the year 325, within the Ecumenical Synod of Nicaea. The date of Easter is influenced by two important natural phenomena: the spring equinox, which takes place on March 21, and the full moon. Because the full moon varies, the date of Easter also varies. But also in the fourth century it was established that Easter day should always be Sunday.
