Easter and Good Friday

[king killa]

Okay, every year, Christmas is celebrated on December 25th. The Birth of Christ. Obviously the date of birth cannot change, and so it's the 25th every year.

But Good Friday and Easter change every year. Does his death and reincarnation happen on different days? Or was it more convienient to have the holiday on a sunday, which is a "holy day" bla bla bla.

It's because Christ died on a Friday, and was resurrected on a Sunday. The makers of the holiday called "Easter" didn't care about changing dates.
Oh, and Easter, good friday, and christmas are celebrations of Christ's birth and death; they don't know the exact date.
Edit: They don't know the exact date of Christ's death, they do know what day of the week it is. That's not the case for Christmas.
P.P.S. Christianity isn't as retarded as you think. You just don't know enough about it. MUAHAHAHAHA!

Easter has to occur 40 days after the start lent, I believe.

And really, there's no true accuracy to Christian holidays (or any religious holiday for that matter.) When most of the events supposedly happened, they were using different calendars. Today we use the Gregorian calendar, but back in the day, they were still using Julian.

Even so, if you notice, most happen around major sun events (e.g. Christmas happens around the winter solstace, Easter at the equinox)

The date is determined by the Jewish Pascal Moon.

Wrong. While it IS the celebration of Christ's birth, it is not his birthday. (Christ's Mass... get it?) He was actually born at around the some time of the year as his death.
