This converter requires the use of Javascript enabled and capable browsers. This script calculates the date for Easter in any chosen calendar year, and converts from the Western Civilizations Gregorian calendar to the Julian calendar and the Orthodox calendar. If you happen to be in the area of Palm Springs, CA, at Easter, please consider a visit to fellowship at Desert Chapel.
The US Naval Observatory has a wonderful page on the web that explains the intricacies of how the date for the annual Christian celebration of Easter is determined each year; it also shows (obviously) how difficult it is to calculate. Other conversions and translations are forthcoming by us for future years. You might also be interested in our Life's Future Calculator. There is a small table below the calculator for future planning of Easter and Ash Wednesday, and there is a table for Easter related feasts, before and after Easter. Here is Christian information about Easter, and a source of more general information about Easter. Click here to view the Desert Chapel website. Paster Fred Donaldson and the staff of Desert Chapel would love to hear from you and invite you for fellowship there.
Your local time is displayed at the top of the calculator; the current year is plugged into the calculator at the startup. The current values for Easter for all three calendars are calculated. You may change the year and recalculate; you may also clear all values but be sure to put in a new year before clicking on Calculate again. If you just want the date and nothing more, click here for our Quick Easter Date Calculator, or here for our Gregorian Easter Date Calculator!!
