Have you noticed Easter feels a little different than other years in 2026? If you have, it’s because you’re perceptive! What’s at the heart of what you’re feeling?
Rare Cultural Convergence
The 2026 season is defined by a historic alignment where Lunar New Year (Feb 17), Lent (Feb 18), and Ramadan (Feb 18) all begin within the same week. It’s a “triple crown” of observances emphasizing a shared, international period of fasting, renewal, and prayer, a phenomenon that will not repeat until 2189. This fosters a unique season of shared reflection.
Floating Dates
Easter does not fall on the same day every year, which earns this special day the title of “movable feast.” This is because when we celebrate Easter it is determined by the moon, not the calendar (Gregorian) date. When we celebrate Easter it is determined by the Moon. It’s observed on the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon.
