Answer: Easter Sunday

Most Christians refer to the week before Easter as “Holy Week”, which had the days of the Easter Triduum, including Maundy Thursday, commemorating the Maundy and Last Supper as well as Good Friday, remembering Christ.

 In Western Christianity, Eastertide or the Easter Season, begins on Easter Sunday and lasts 7 weeks, ending with the coming of the 50th day, Pentecost Sunday. 

In Eastern Christianity, the season of Pascha begins on Pascha and ends with the coming of the 40th day, the Feast of the Ascension.

Easter and the holidays that are related to it are moveable feasts which do not fall on a fixed date in the Gregorian or Julian calendars which follow only the cycle of the Sun; rather, its date is offset from the date of Passover and is therefore calculated based on a lunisolar calendar similar to the Hebrew calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established 2 rules,  Jewish calendar%u2018s independence and worldwide uniformity, which were the only rules for Easter explicitly laid down by the council. 
No details for the computation were specified; these were worked out in practice, a process that took centuries and generated a number of controversies. 
It has come to be the first Sunday after the ecclesiastical full moon that occurs on or soonest after March 21. 

Even if decided on the basis of the more accurate Gregorian calendar, the date of that full moon sometimes is different from that of the astronomical first full moon after the March equinox.
