The early Church used it as a substitute for the Jewish Passover. Some churches began commemorating the 14th day of Nissa in the Jewish calendar; The Council of Nicaea in 325 decreed that the first Sunday after the full moon of the vernal equinox was Easter every year. In 1582, Western Europe switched to the Gregorian calendar. Some Eastern churches still use the Julian calendar, so Easter is usually a week or two, or even five weeks, later than Catholics and Protestants. Easter eggs are given to each other during the festival to symbolize life and prosperity. Because the vernal equinox is not fixed each year, the exact date of Easter is also uncertain. But the festival dates roughly between March 22 and April 25.
