The Paschal Full Moon is on April 5 2023. Therefore; Easter Sunday is on April 9. The Easter date is determined by the Paschal Full Moon which is the first (ecclesiastic) full moon after the spring equinox. The Easter date is always the next Sunday after (never on) the Paschal full moon. This is the reason for the shifting Easter date. The Paschal and the Astronomical Full Moon are not necessarily on the same day.
