How the date is set

Easter is the first Sunday after the first ecclesiastical full moon on or after 21 March, which is why it moves by more than a month. The Orthodox churches compute the same rule on the Julian calendar, so the two dates usually differ and occasionally coincide.

Not everything closes. Banks stay open, the post office stays open, and the stock market is shut — which is why “is Good Friday a bank holiday” is a question worth asking.
