The calculations for the date of Easter are somewhat complicated. In the Western Church, Easter has not fallen on the earliest of the 35 possible dates, March 22, since 1818, and will not do so again until 2285. It will, however, fall on March 23 in 2008, but will not do so again until 2160. The latest possible date, April 27 will next fall on that date in 2016.

The cycle of Easter dates repeats after exactly 5,700,000 years, with April 19 being the most common date, happening 220,400 times, or 3.9% compared to a mean for all dates of 162,857 times, or 2.9%.

The latest possible date for Easter is April 25. In the year 2016 Easter will fall on March 27 not April 27. The next time it will fall on the April 25 is 2038. Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter

According to Wikipedia:

"The canonical rule is that Easter day is the first Sunday after the 14th day of the lunar month (the nominal full moon) that falls on or after 21 March (nominally the day of the vernal equinox)."

Depending on whether you're calculating for Eastern or Western Christian Easter, the last Easter day can be early April to early May.

How is Easter Sunday determined in the Catholic Church?

Easter Sunday falls AFTER the first full moon AFTER the Vernal Equinox. While the date for the Vernal Equinox is the same every year, the phases of the moon do not fall on the same date. This is why Easter Sunday is a different date each year. The earliest possible date for Easter Sunday is March 22. The latest possible date is April 25. This year (2011) Easter Sunday falls on April 24.

Has Easter ever fallen after April 25th?

No. At least, not in Western Christianity since the introduction of the Gregorian calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established the date of Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) following the northern hemisphere's vernal equinox. This means that nowadays, April 25th is the latest date on which Easter can fall.
