Would you prefer the date of Easter to be fixed?

The Archbishop of Canterbury hopes to end the debate spanning 12 centuries by finally setting an Easter date in stone and he’s hedging his bets on the first Sunday in April.

At present, Easter falls on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the Spring equinox around 21st March. This means it can fall on any Sunday between 22nd March and 25th April.

The Most Rev Justin Welby said that he hopes to make the change within the next five to ten years, in a move that will probably have huge knock-on effects for schools and other seasonally-dependent industries, according to reports.

Mr Welby did warn however that churches have been attempting since the tenth century to fix the date of the festival, which at the moment is set with reference to the moon and the sun.

What are your views?  Would you prefer the date of Easter to be fixed? Or are you quite happy with the date being set in accordance with the moon?
