Easter is a moveable feast, meaning it is not fixed in rel ation to the civil calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established the date of Easter as the first Sunday after the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) following the northern hemisphere's vernal equinox.[8] Ecclesiastically, th e equinox is reckoned to be on 21 March (even though the equinox occurs, as tronomically speaking, on 20 March in most years), and the "Full Moon" is n ot necessarily the astronomically correct date. The date of Easter therefor e varies between 22 March and 25 April. Eastern Christianity< /a> bases its calculations on the Julian calendar whose 21 March co rresponds, during the 21st century, to 3 April in the Gregorian c alendar, in which the celebration of Easter therefore varies between 4 April and 8 May.

Ram Navam i (Devanāgarī: 52;ाम नवमी) also known as Sri Rama N avami (IAST SriRām-navamī) is a Hindu festival, celebrating the birth of Lord Rama to King Dasharatha and Queen Kausalya of Ayodhya. Ram is the 7th incarnati on of the Dashavatara of Vishnu.[1][2][< /span>3] Years later Lord Rama was married to Sita o n the Vivaha Panchami. The sacred marriage of Devi Sita with Lord R ama was held on Margashirsha Shukla Panchami as per Valmiki Ramayana (This occasion is known as Seetha kalyanam). The SreeRama Navami festival falls in the Shukla Paksha on the Navami, the ninth day of the month of Chaitra in the Hindu calenda r. Thus it is also known as Chaitra Masa Suklapaksha Navami, and marks the end of the nine-day Chaitra-Navratri celebrations.
At some places the fe
stival lasts the whole nine days of the Navratras, thus the
period is called 'Sri Rama Navratra'.[4][5
In Jainism, Mahavir Jayanti, also known as Mahavir Janma Kalyanak, is the most important religious holiday.[3] It celebrates the birth o f Mahavira , the last Tirthankara. On the Gregorian calendar, the ho liday occurs either in March or April.
He was born on the thirteenth day of the rising moon of Chaitra. The chronology accepted by all Jains places Maha vir's birth in 599 BCE.[4 ]
