Calendar-day distance is absolute: it excludes the earlier date and includes the later date. Weekdays use the same endpoints, count Monday through Friday, and do not remove holidays.
The details
How this Easter countdown works
Calendar days
UTC calendar dates avoid daylight-saving-time shifts. Leap days are included automatically whenever they fall in the interval.
Weekdays
The weekday total counts Monday through Friday. It does not remove public holidays or regional non-working days.
The Saturday-before example
From the Saturday before Easter to Easter Sunday is one calendar day. On Easter itself the countdown reaches zero before rolling to the following year.
The date changes yearly
Western Easter is calculated for the Gregorian calendar and always falls on a Sunday from March 22 through April 25. The page automatically advances to the following year after Easter Sunday passes in UTC.
Western and Orthodox dates
This result is for Western Easter. Orthodox Easter may occur on a different date because its calculation can use a different calendar and ecclesiastical rules.
Related Easter dates
Good Friday is two calendar days before Easter Sunday, and Easter Monday is one day after it. Whether either date is a public holiday depends on the country or region.

Plan around closures
This countdown does not infer school, business, or market closures. Use the business-days calculator for a weekday or supported national-holiday-aware interval.
