The Vatican knows years in advance which dates the Easter holidays will be celebrated on. How does it make its decisions?

It liaises with Augusta National Golf Club to find out when the US Masters Golf is being held, then schedules Easter for the following weekend.

Maybe as many as 40% of Americans would believe this.

Easter is determined astrologically. It's the first Sunday after the first full moon after the first day of spring.
