I'm confused.

Why has Easter been brought forward. Or am I being Blonde?

Easter is a "Celebration" of his resurrection though, not his Death.

Technically, it's both his death and resurrection.

it's calculated on the first sunday after the full moon after the vernal equinox or something. There's other stuff like the 'full moon' not being the actual full moon but what date someone centuries ago thought the full moon would be on. or something.

According to "The Davinci code" movie, Jesus died on Friday 13th, which is the reason that Friday 13th is considered bad luck. If that's any help.
