is it always tonight, or does it move around like the western easter?

 

Seriously, no offense intended, genuine curiosity....

Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the Spring Equinox (which is March 20). This dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that Hebrew people used to identify Passover, which is why it moves around on our Roman calendar. Found out a couple of things you might be interested in! Based on the above, Easter can actually be one day earlier (March 22) than it is this year but that is rare.Here's the interesting info. This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of our lives! And only the most elderly of our population have ever before seen it this early (95 years old or above!). And none of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier! Here are the facts:1) The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year 2228 (220 years from now). The last time it was this early was 1913 (so if you're 95 or older, you are the only ones that were around for that!).2) The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22, will be in the year 2285 (277 years from now). The last time it was on March 22 was 1818.

There's already a thread for this subject. 

 

It's always the small things that make big differences.

It is fixed as per the Hijri calendar which is based on the 12 lunar months. which means it is less than the grogorian calendar by about 11 days per year. So the date changes accordingly.
