Easter cycle
The Easter cycle is the sequence of the seasons and days in the Christian liturgical year which are pegged to the date of Easter, either before or after it.[1][2] In any given calendar year, the timing of events within the Easter cycle is dependent on the calculation of the date of Easter itself.
