Easter Countdown
How long until Easter? The countdown always shows the next date, so you can leave this page open.
How it works
The page counts down live to the date shown above, in days, hours, minutes and seconds. It also tells you the number of days, weeks and "sleeps" left, which children like. Use Fullscreen to show it on a screen or projector.
Easter dates
Easter moves each year. In Western churches it falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after March 21, which can put it anywhere from March 22 to April 25.
