Easter follows the Western (Gregorian) calculation used by most Protestant and Catholic churches: the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the spring equinox, by the church’s tables. Ash Wednesday is 46 days before Easter, Pentecost 49 days after, and Advent begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas. Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Thanksgiving and the other civic dates follow the US calendar.
Orthodox churches date Easter by the Julian calendar, so their Easter is often later.
