Why is the Western Easter date different from the Eastern Orthodox date of Pascha?
Answer:
Answer
Western and Eastern Churches use the same rules to compute the date of Easter/Pascha. The rules involve a fixed date - March 21st. The discrepancy occurs due to the fact that Western Churches use Gregorian Calendar for this date and Eastern Churches use Julian Calendar for it.
