This article is about the cycle of days before and after Easter. For the cycle by which the date of Easter is calculated, see Date of Easter. For the cycle of days before and after Easter in Eastern Orthodoxy, see Paschal cycle.

The Easter cycle is the sequence of the seasons and days in the Christian liturgical year which are pegged to the date of Easter, either before or after it.[1][2] In any given calendar year, the timing of events within the Easter cycle is dependent on the calculation of the date of Easter itself.
