Easter is simply defined as the first Sunday following the full moon that falls on or after the spring equinox. Easter is the following Sunday if the full moon occurs on a Sunday.

The spring equinox, or the vernal equinox as it is more formally known, marks the astronomical start of spring, when the sun passes north over the celestial equator, a notional equator that extends out from the Earth’s actual equator.
