Next Sunday, March 31, Catholics around the world will celebrate Easter. The date chosen this year for the most important festival in Christianity has been brought forward by ten days compared to last year.
In reality, Easter can take place as early as March 22 and extend until April 25. Unlike Christmas, this celebration does not have a fixed date and can therefore be held between these two ends. This particularity has its origin in the very definition of Easter, developed on the occasion of the Council of Nicaea, in present-day Turkey.
