The Easter dates also affect when Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, Maundy Thursday, the Ascension of the Lord and Pentecost occur. Easter may occur on different dates in the Gregorian Calendar and the Julian Calendar. The accompanying table provides both sets of dates, for recent decades and forthcoming years -- see the computus article for more details on the calculation. Contents 1 Earliest Easter 1.1 Western ( Gregorian ) 1.2 Orthodox ( Julian ) 2 Latest Easter 2.1 Western ( Gregorian ) 2.2 Orthodox ( Julian ) 3 Western and Orthodox Easter on the same date 4 Range of dates for Western and Orthodox Easter 5 Public holidays 6 References 7 External links Earliest Easter Western ( Gregorian ) In 1818 the Paschal Full Moon fell on Saturday, March 21 ( the equinox ). Therefore, the following day, March 22, was Easter. It will not fall as early again until 2285, a span of 467 years. The next earliest Easter between 1818 and 2285 ( March 23 ) occurred in 1845, 1856, 1913 and 2008, and will occur again in 2160 -- an 11, 57, 95 and 152 - year gap, respectively. Orthodox ( Julian ) The earliest dates for Easter in the Eastern Orthodox Church between 1875 and 2099 are April 4, 1915 and April 4, 2010 ( Gregorian ). Both dates are equivalent to March 22 in the Julian Calendar. Latest Easter Western ( Gregorian ) In 1943 Easter fell on Sunday, April 25. The ecclesiastical full moon did not occur until Saturday, March 20 ; because it came before the vernal equinox, the paschal full moon did not happen until Sunday, April 18. Consequently, Easter was the following Sunday ( April 25 ). Easter will not fall as late again until 2038 -- a span of 95 years. The second latest date for Easter, April 24, occurred in 2011. The last time this occurred was in 1859 and will not happen again until 2095 -- spans of 152 and 84 years. However between years 5121 and 6482, Easter will be no later than April 24. Orthodox ( Julian ) The latest dates for Orthodox Easter between 1875 and 2099 are May 8, 1983, and May 8, 2078 ( Gregorian ). Both dates are equivalent to April 25 in the Julian Calendar. Orthodox Easter has never fallen on Gregorian May 7 yet ; it will happen in 2051 unless these churches change to another calendar. Western and Orthodox Easter on the same date Despite using calendars that are apart by 13 days, Easter 2014 fell on the same date. According to the Western ( Gregorian ) calendar, the first Paschal Full Moon after the Spring Equinox ( March 20 ) fell on Monday, April 14, 2014. The following Sunday, April 20, was, therefore, Easter Day. According to the Orthodox ( Julian ) calendar ( which is 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar ), the Spring Equinox also falls on March 21. However, in the Gregorian Calendar, this is April 3. The first Orthodox Full Moon after the Equinox falls on ( Julian ) Tuesday, April 2, 2014 ( Gregorian April 15 ). The following Sunday, ( Julian ) April 7, is, therefore, Easter Day ( Gregorian April 20 ). Range of dates for Western and Orthodox Easter Both calendars ( Gregorian and Julian ) calculate Easter as falling on dates between March 22 and April 25 on their calendars. However, because of the 13 - day difference, any member of an Orthodox church would observe that the Western Easter falls between March 10 and April 12 on the Julian calendar. Conversely, any member of a Western church would observe that Orthodox Easter falls between April 4 and May 8 on the Gregorian calendar. Beginning March 14, 2100 ( February 29, 2100, in the Julian Calendar ), the difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars will increase to 14 days. Public holidays This section needs expansion with : details of Easter holidays in other countries ; this section currently only mentions those with a four - day weekend. You can help by adding to it. ( April 2018 ) In Hungary, the United Kingdom except Scotland, Australia, Canada, South Africa, Germany, Switzerland and New Zealand, Easter comprises two public holidays, Good Friday and Easter Monday, making a four - day weekend. The moveable date of Easter sometimes brings it into conflict with other, fixed, public holidays. In the United Kingdom in 2000 and 2011, the May Day bank holiday was one week after Easter Monday, causing there to be three consecutive weeks with a bank holiday. ( In Scotland this did not occur as Easter Monday is not a bank holiday. ) In 2011, a bank holiday was declared on Friday 29 April for the Wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton ; consequently there were four bank holidays within three consecutive calendar weeks ( including two in one week ), creating two consecutive four - day weekends ( Friday 22 -- Monday 25 April and Friday 29 April -- Monday 2 May ), with a three - day working week in between ( Tuesday 26 -- Thursday 28 April ). In Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland in 2008, Saint Patrick 's Day ( Monday 17 March ) fell six days before Easter ( Sunday 23 March ), creating a three - day week ( Tuesday 18 -- Thursday 20 March ). This will next happen in 2035, when Saint Patrick 's day falls on Saturday, so the public holiday is moved forward to the following Monday 19 March, again six days before Easter. Note that in the Catholic liturgical calendar, saints ' feasts are not observed when they fall during Holy Week ; this caused Saint Patrick not to appear in the liturgical calendar for 2008 ; 17 March was simply celebrated as Holy Monday. In Ireland, the Church chose to celebrate Saint Patrick on Saturday 15 March instead. In Australia, ANZAC Day is a public holiday on 25 April. In 2000 and 2011, this created a five - day weekend over Easter : in 2000, Easter Monday fell on 24 April, with Easter Tuesday, 25 April, then being ANZAC Day ; in 2011, ANZAC Day and Easter Monday coincided on Monday 25 April, which led to a substitute public holiday being declared for Tuesday 26 April. In 2003 and 2014, ANZAC Day fell on Easter Friday, and in 2019 it will fall on Easter Thursday, and in 2038 it will fall on Easter Sunday ; the consequence is three - day working weeks immediately following the Easter weekend. Easter is not a federal holiday in the United States. In North Carolina, however, it was a public holiday from 1935 to 1987.
