When is Easter 2027?
Easter Sunday 2027 is Sunday, March 28, 2027. Unlike Christmas, Easter moves with the moon: it can land on any Sunday from March 22 to April 25. The page computes the date with the standard calculation for Western Easter, the same dates the US Census Bureau lists for its holiday adjustments (for example March 28 in 2027 and April 16 in 2028). In 2028 it falls on Sunday, April 16, 2028.
The weeks of Lent and the sleeps left
The top line gives the calendar days remaining, and the clock aims at the first minute of Easter Sunday on your device. Below it, the weeks-and-days figure lines up with the six-week season of Lent, and the sleeps count gives children waiting for the egg hunt a number they understand.
Holy Week and the school holidays
The days around Easter Sunday follow from its date:
- Palm Sunday is a week before Easter.
- Good Friday is two days before; in many countries it’s a public holiday.
- Easter Monday is the day after, a public holiday in many countries.
School spring breaks are often built around Easter, but each district and country sets its own dates, so check yours. For a Good Friday service, an egg hunt or the first day of the break, type that date and time into the general countdown, or plan the weeks on a printed month planner.
