i know Easter is on the first sunday after the fullmoon that occurs after spring equinox.
What I don’t know is why is it on that day? What was the reason to calculate the Easter to coincide with fullmoon and spring?
Does anyone know?

I gues sits coz Easter day is tied in with Jewish passover.. so the date is tied to the jewish calendar..
Girl, I don’t have an answer to this one but this fellow seems to have researched it quite a bit:
