The Easter controversy was a bitter dispute in the second and third century A.D. over the date for celebrating the [[Resurrection]]. The western (Roman) church, citing the authority of [[Peter]] and [[Paul]], celebrated [[Easter]] on the Sunday following the fourteenth day of the full moon of the [[vernal equinox]]. The eastern church, citing the authority of the [[Apostles]] [[Philip]] and [[John]], celebrated [[Eastern]] on the fourteenth day of [[Nisan]] regardless of the day of the week.

Disagreements continued until the [[Council of Nicea]] (A.D. 325), when a settlement was reached for the Christian world to celebrate Easter on the Sunday following the fourteenth day of the [[paschal]] moon, whose fourteenth day followed the [[spring equinox]]. In A.D. 455, [[Pope Leo I]] had to settle resolve a lingering dispute about the date, and his decision was widely accepted.

The Roman Church then adopted a 95-year calendar for fixing the date of Easter, but the Celtic Church continued to use a 532-year cycle. In the ninth century the Celtic Church accepted the 95-year calendar.
