"I am the ressurection.."
Easter is the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon, which is the first moon whose 14th day (the ecclesiastic "full moon") is on or after March 21 (the ecclesiastic "vernal equinox"). What a mouthful and challenging to explain.
Looks like we have to be scientists or specifically astronomy scientist to calculate this day. Many other religious dates are also using some form of astronomical calculator to compute its calendar. However, unlike other religions, the calculation for Easter is to determine a date to calebrate Jesus coming up from the dead. Specifically, to live again after death.
Where men have died or disappeared, the two dates of Good Friday and Easter are relentlessly debated, computed and fixed to commemorate the death and ressurection anniversary for this man.
Since we have to constantly calculate the date for an event, I think the dates serve as a reminder for something that was done.
