Unlike most other religious holidays, this one is determined by the stars...in a sense. The practice goes back to early times when electric light didn't exist and Easter was celebrated during the night before what we would now consider Easter Sunday. In order to have maximum moonlight, and thus be able to see what was going on, Easter was set on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox(start of Spring).
