Figure out when the spring equinox is (Usually around 20 March), then look for the next full moon, then it will be the following Sunday. I have no idea why it is calculated like this---it seems kinda pagan to me.

It is 40 days after Ash Wednesday. And in 2007, Ash Wednesday is February 21 and Easter is April 8.

It depends on which branch of the Church that you are in. The Western Church uses this formula: the first Sunday following the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox. The Eastern Church adds that it must also be after Passover.
Then you count backwards to determine the date for Ash Wednesday.

It is different each year dude. Sometimes it is as early as mid March...other times it is as late as the end of April. In 2007 it is on April 8th.

It has to do with the full moon after the first day of spring. Something like that.
