Date of Easter
[edit]I reverted your edit to this article because the current text has been through a lot of work. That doesn't mean it is infallible of course, but it does mean that it would be more effective for you to start a new topic at talk:Date of Easter where you identify what you consider to be incorrect and propose how it should be fixed.
In particular, as you may see on the talk page, I have previously identified that the date of Orthodox Easter is poorly described.
Btw, the term "vernal" is ambiguous: in Australia it means September.
I look forward to reading what you have to say. Welcome again to Wikipedia. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 19:16, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

A possible consequence of this intercalation is that 14 Nisan could occur before the equinox, which some third-century Christians considered unacceptable (this cannot happen in the fixed calendar in use today).[1] Consequently, it was decided to separate the dating of Easter from the Hebrew calendar, by identifying the first full moon following the March equinox. By the time of the First Council of Nicaea (AD 325), the Church of Alexandria had designated 21 March as an ecclesiastical date for the equinox, irrespective of actual astronomical observation. In 395, Theophilus published a table of future dates for Easter, validating the Alexandrian criteria.[2] Thereafter, the computus would be the procedure of determining the first Sunday after the first ecclesiastical full moon falling on or after 21 March.
- which predates the Great Schism, so I'm a bit confused by your text (recognising that 21 March Julian is quite a ways from the actual date of the equinox). The practice of Eastern Christendom is very thinly described; it would be good to rectify that. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 00:54, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
