  • Date Controversy

    Western and eastern Christian traditions celebrate Easter on different dates. The western date is based on the Gregorian calendar, which was established by Pope Gregory in 1582. The Eastern Orthodox churches don't recognize the Gregorian calendar, and continue to celebrate Easter in accordance with the rules established by Constantine in 325, using the Julian calendar.U.S. Naval Observatory: The Date of Easter
