Easter is a movable feast: it falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the spring equinox, so the date shifts every year. Easter 2027 is on March 28, 2027, and this countdown ticks down to it live.
Easter Sunday is on Sunday, March 28, 2027, which is 288 days away. The live countdown above ticks down to the exact moment, to the second.
Unlike Christmas, Easter has no fixed date. Western churches set it by a lunar rule tied to the spring equinox, so it can land anywhere from March 22 to April 25. Eastern Orthodox churches often calculate a different date using the Julian calendar.
For Christians, Easter marks the resurrection of Jesus and is the most important feast of the year. Culturally it brings egg hunts, the Easter Bunny, baskets of candy and spring gatherings with family.
