Easter 2027

When is Easter 2027?

According to the official Christian holiday calendar, the Easter 2027 date will be happily celebrated on Sunday, March 28th (3/28/2027).

But do You Really Know the Meaning of this Special Date?

Easter, also called Pascha or Resurrection Sunday, is a festival and holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Christianity's greatest figure, who was crucified by Roman Cavalry in Jerusalem and died on Good Friday.

The death and resurrection of Jesus, celebrated at Easter, are the most fundamental events in Christian theology and the cornerstone of the Christian religion.

According to the Holy Bible, God resurrected Jesus on the third day after his death on Good Friday, as a result of crucifixion, which was the ultimate form of criminal punishment at the time.

After a gruesome death, Christ's resurrection is seen as a sign of new beginnings and new hope.

Bodily resurrection, according to Christian belief, is the spirit-driven return to a changed body life, and guarantees that all Christians who have died will be resurrected at the Parousia of Christ or Second Coming.

Easter 2027 Date

Why Does the Date of Easter Change Every Year?

This happens due to the fact that Easter is not a fixed date and the official date of its celebration tends to vary a lot from year to year.

This special day always occurs on the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon. The word “Paschal,” which is used in the ecclesiastical (Christian church) calendar, comes from “Pascha,” a transliteration of the Aramaic word meaning “Passover.”

The Paschal Full Moon is the first Full Moon after the Vernal Equinox for the Northern Hemisphere or Autumn for the Southern Hemisphere.

In years when the first spring full moon falls on a Sunday, Easter is observed the following week. The first day that Passover can happen is March 22nd, but it won't happen again until 2285.

The last day Easter can happen is April 25, something that hasn't happened since 1943. According to long-term averages, the most unusual date for Easter is March 22nd.

Second place runs until April 24th and third place runs until March 23rd. This is the result of a calculation based on the lunisolar calendar, where each month has 29.5 days.
