Countdown to Easter
Sunday, March 28, 2027About the countdown to Easter
Easter can fall anywhere from March 22 to April 25, which makes a live calculation far more useful than a rule of thumb.
Our countdown uses the Gregorian computus, the same algorithm used to publish Easter dates decades in advance.
The counter above reads from your device clock and refreshes every second, so the days, hours, minutes and seconds always reflect the time remaining right now. When Easter arrives, the page quietly moves its target to the following year so the countdown never runs out of road.
