Because the date of Easter changes every year.
Easter falls on the first Sunday subsequent to the first full moon after the vernal equinox (March 21). Thus, it can occur as early as March 22 and as late as April 25. (If the full moon after the equinox falls on Sunday, Easter follows a week later.)
Originally Easter was celebrated on the same day as the Jewish Passover. Since the Jewish calendar is lunar, Passover can fall on any day of the week, and some Church fathers were distressed that the Lenten fast should end on any day other than a Sunday. They argued about it until the 8th century, when the church officially adopted the procedure we have now.

Prophet Jesus (Isa) was never killed. He was risen to the seventh heaven by Allah and he will come back again and live for forty years. During this period Anti Christ would cause major destruction to the humanity and Prophet Jesus Christ will be our super hero! and save the humanity from the cruel Anti Christ!!

Easter is determined by the phase of the moon after Advent which is different every year.
