If the date of Easter was important, we'd be celebrating it on the same day every year.
Are you Japanese? There are a lot of more liberal catholic schools where I live, I'd certainly believe they'd move the celebration itself if they had to.
And are you Christian? Easter moves every year and we calculate when it will fall every year. Easter always occurs on the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon. That shows that the date of Easter is important. And no matter how "liberal" a school is it can not or will it move the date of Easter.

You say cause we aren't Japanese that we can't point out that the author doesn't know anything about western and Christian culture and customs. "Oh you aren't Japanese you don't know if a Japanese catholic school would move the celebration of the most important Christian holiday." As a Christian I can say that they can't and they won't.

Are you a priest? Or a pastor? You can't just say you're a Christian and that's that. You have absolutely no authority. If Easter's actual date was important, it would be on a date, not on a day.

The celebration of Easter is meant to show the birth of Jesus, but his birth isn't even universally known. It's simply tradition to have it after Passover.

Oh come on, you want to argue yet you think Easter is the birth of Christ. It's the day Jesus resurrected from the dead. It is the most important day for Christians and you can't say its not cause it moves every year. It should show that its important because we calculate when it will fall every year and not just select a day at random, like this manga insinuated.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_of_Easter just read this and say that the date isn't important. No Christian group will just move Easter, not for anyone. If they calculate that it will fall on a date that year it will be that year, they won't move it for some Japanese students.

Why are you trying to defend an author that clearly knows very little about Western culture and Christianity? So many people pointed out the mistakes and you (apparently a Japanese) think you can say that we are wrong, when all this time you were saying how we don't know anything about Japanese schooling/culture.

I don't know if you know this, but it's more than likely that Jesus was not actually born on Christmas. He was more than likely born in the spring. Guess where Easter falls?

"Just go read a wikipedia article" is not a valid argument where I come from. You're not even giving me a section.

No Christian Group? You're joking right? You do realize how many Christian Groups have separated because of things more petty than a date right?
Which would you consider the Sabbath? Sunday, or Saturday?

Easter is a tradition, not a condition. You seem to think it's a sin to celebrate it at a separate time.

Are you suggesting that Jesus was born on Easter? LOL that's so stupid. Jesus was born on a holiday that moves. You don't know anything about Christianity and now make this stupid theory cause you though Easter was the birthday of Jesus. Easter is related to Passover, and guess what, Passover moves each year. Jesus was executed on a Friday (Good Friday) and resurrected on a Sunday.

Besides the fact there is no reason Jesus couldn't have been born in December or January (Gregorian/Julian calendar). Judea during that time isn't as cold as many think, and sheep have wool that protects them. More time sheep graze the less hay you have to make for them, which makes it easier. Those that say the shepherd letting sheep graze during Jesus' birth doesn't mean it couldn't have happened during winter.
"Just go read a wikipedia article" is not a valid argument where I come from. You're not even giving me a section.
And I'm telling you to read it cause a whole article existing about calculating the date of Easter shows how important it is. You cannot change the date as you see fit.

It is a sin to celebrate it on another date. Find me a Catholic school that will move the date for celebrating Easter just to accommodate some kids. The reason Orthodox and Catholics celebrate it on different dates is cause they use different calendars, Julian for Orthodox and Gregorian for Catholics. They still use pretty much the same formula to calculate when it will fall. And again, could a random school decide to make Monday the Sabbath day? The fact that groups separated over "petty things" shows how important they are, or they wouldn't separate over them.

You same as the author have a very limited understanding of Christianity. The school he set it in is a Catholic school, Catholicism is dogmatic, meaning any changes to the dogma, to the celebration, rituals and dates, cannot come from anyone else then the Pope.

Again, they said they would move Easter, not add more days where they don't have to go to school after the holiday or before. They said move Easter. Before you comment on anything explain to me how a Catholic (importance, Catholic) school would be able to move a holiday and celebrate it and do all the religious ceremonies associated with it to another date. Find me a Catholic school that did that, you said you lived near liberal catholic schools, check with them if they ever did that, or if they would ever do that. They would laugh you out of the room.

Sorry, how will Easter be on "Last sunday of the month"? Is it March of 2024? Or some closeby year?
By this calendar it is possible for 2019, and 2030 if they are using Julian calendar (which is used in christian denominations, and not mainline faith)

Easter is calculated as the first Sunday after Passover, which changes through the Jewish calendar. Thus, Easter falls on different Sundays every year. That is why it is on different days. Changing Easter cannot happen, as it is a fixed event where God literally rose from the dead in his incarnation (for Christians). It is THE most important holiday of Christianity, and has and never will be changed for peoples convenience.

Its the first Sunday after Passover on the Gregorian calendar. Always will be for Catholic and protestant Christians.

Oh, a new authority huh?
An Easter Sunday service is entirely different from Easter.

Man, the amount of people willing to pontificate on things they know jack shit about, be they manga authors or random nobodies on forum threads...
Easter is THE most important celebration in the Christian cult, to the point the calendar most widely employed in the world was devised explicitly to more accurately calculate its date, and SOMEHOW you think it is ok to move it around because it may interfere with the school new year celebration?
Any school doing this, would not be Catholic, for this very act...
Also, why would they even have to move it? It's on sunday...
