In 325 A.D., the Council of Nicaea ruled that "Easter shall be celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox".
The above dates are for the UK / Western / Roman Catholic Church - Greek and Eastern Orthodox Churches celebrate Easter on different dates in some years.
Why am I looking this up in August 2007? Because I'm setting training course dates for 2008, and few delegates would wish me to break up their Easter weekends with a day of Perl or Python!
