Time for another Council of Nicaea. (it was Catholics only)
While not the latest this year, it is very late.

Ok, my sarcasm detector is on the fritz. You know that the date for Easter is based on whenever Passover happens to be, right?

Yep. We Christians have to consult with the Jews to know when our most important annual holiday occurs.

Easter's date is determined by the first Sunday after the Paschal full moon. The Paschal full moon is the first full moon that occurs on or after the spring equinox. While the spring equinox shifts yearly, the Church uses a fixed date of March 21, known as the ecclesiastical equinox, for calculations. This means Easter always falls between March 22 and April 25.
