As its Easter next week and for those who might not have seen my Instagram Post - I thought I would share the answer to few client questions I received on why Easter Day is on a different day each year. As well a new article up is titled Meditation is Not just Sitting Down - have added the opening paragraph below too.
Question: Why does Easter not fall on the same day each year like Christmas?
Easter falls on a different date each year because it isn’t based on a fixed calendar — it’s based on natural cycles, specifically the Sun and the Moon. It’s celebrated on the first Sunday after the first Full Moon following the Spring Equinox.
Ancient cultures placed huge importance on the Moon because it was a visible way to track time and cycles — the full moon represented completion, fullness, and peak energy. The Spring Equinox marks the turning point of the year: the end of winter and the beginning of spring, when day and night are equal and light begins to dominate. This signalled fertility, growth, and the start of the agricultural season — quite literally the return of life.
Christianity later fixed Easter to a Sunday to align with the resurrection of Jesus, but Sunday itself already had significance. In older traditions, particularly in Roman culture, Sunday was associated with the Sun — even linked to the worship of “Sol Invictus,” the unconquered sun.
However, the key reason Easter moves each year is this: the full moon is not fixed to our calendar. It shifts every year, and because Easter is tied to the first full moon after the equinox — and then the Sunday after that — the date changes. So it’s not random at all; it’s following the rhythm of nature rather than a fixed date.
The symbols of Easter — eggs, rabbits, and flowers — are far older than Christianity and come from humanity’s observation of nature. Eggs have been used since ancient times in cultures like Egypt, Persia, and India as symbols of life, creation, and rebirth — something emerging from seemingly nothing.
Rabbits, or more specifically hares, became associated with spring because of how visibly active and prolific they are during this season; early humans simply noticed this pattern and linked them with fertility and abundance. Flowers also represent the visible return of growth after the barrenness of winter. These symbols weren’t invented randomly — they were drawn directly from nature’s patterns.
Christianity later placed its own meaning onto this same seasonal moment, aligning the story of resurrection with a time of year that already represented renewal, life, and emergence.
So… if you find yourself eating a few too many chocolate eggs next week delivered by the Easter Bunny, just remember (for one day) — you’re not overindulging, you’re aligning with ancient humans and participating in a tradition that goes back thousands of years… far older than Christianity itself 😄
New Article out on Skool:
Meditation is Not Sitting down:-
One of the biggest misunderstandings about meditation is this:
People think it’s something you do for a few minutes a day…and then return to normal life.
But meditation was never meant to stay on the mat.
The mat is just where you learn it.
Life is where you live it.
