I've read an article in Independent by Sabrina Barr called "When is Easter 2021 and why does the date change every year?". It was about what is Easter, how it is celebrate and why the Easter date changes every year. Easter is one from two the most important festival for Christians. It commemorates the Jesus Christus resurrection following the crucifixion. For people, who don't believe in God it's time to meet with family and spent time together. In this year Easter is on Sunday 4 April. The date, when is Easter, depends on lunisolar calendar. The date of Easter Sunday falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox in March.
In my opinion it's interestin, because many people, even when they're Christians, don't know why the Easter date changes every year. Maybe it's because, now the date is automaticly inscribed to the calendar and people don't need why the date changes. They only need the date, because they need to prepare a lot of dishes and presents.

This is interesting that the date is not regulated by any religious factors but astronomy.
