As I recall from my Roman History daze, Emperor Constitene was the deciding factor
. Being the first Roman emperor to embrace Christianity , he was put off by the fact that Easter was celebrated at different times by different churches. He asked several church leaders to gather and come up with a common date
. They couldn't
. The emperor than said he would do it :
(1) Sunday is the Christian Holy Day, so it should be on a Sunday.(2) Easter celebrates the Rebirth of Christ, Spring celebrates rebirth of much nature, so it should be in early Spring.(3) Many Christians would pilgrimage to Calvary ,a few by horse/donkey/camel but most by foot. There was very few street lights back in Rome back in the 3rd or 4th century. A nighttime journey to Calvary was done best under a full moon.
