How early is Easter in 2065?

March 29 is date 8 of the 35 that Western Easter can take, March 22 to April 25: 7 days after the earliest possible date and 27 days before the latest. Of the 201 Easters from 1900 to 2100, 22 fall on an earlier date than this one and 173 fall on a later date. 5 other years in that span share the date: 1959, 1964, 1970, 2043, 2054. Before 2065, Western Easter last fell on March 29 in 2054; after 2065 it next does in 2111.

Orthodox Easter on April 26 is April 13 in the Julian calendar; 13 days carry it to the Gregorian calendar in 2065. From 1900 to 2100 Orthodox Easter falls on an earlier Gregorian date in 131 years and on a later one in 64 years; it falls on the same date in 1908, 1970, 1981, 1992, 2076.

The two algorithms, worked for 2065

Western: the Anonymous Gregorian algorithm
a=13 b=20 c=65 d=5 e=0 f=1 g=6 h=1 i=16 k=1 l=6 m=0
h + l − 7m + 114 = 121, and 121 ÷ 31 = 3 remainder 28: month 3, day 28 + 1. March 29
Orthodox: Meeus’s Julian algorithm
a=1 b=0 c=13 d=22 e=0
d + e + 114 = 136, and 136 ÷ 31 = 4 remainder 12: Julian April 13. Plus 13 days: April 26

How the date of Easter is calculated explains each letter. The dates on this page agree with the US Census Bureau table (Western), the 5ko.free.fr tables (Western and Orthodox), each read September 28, 2026.
