It can occur on any Tuesday between February 3 through March 9. This is due to the Gregorian calendar designed by the Catholic Church which sets a fixed date for Christmas and movable dates for other holidays. Easter is set on any Sunday from March 23 to April 25, and its exact date is set to coincide with the first Sunday after the full moon that follows the Spring Equinox. Mardi Gras is set 46 days prior to Easterthe 40 days of Lent plus 6 Sundays.
