How the date works
Western Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after March 21 (the church uses a fixed table for the moon, not the real one). That puts Easter between March 22 and April 25.
Lent starts on Ash Wednesday, 46 days before Easter Sunday. Palm Sunday is a week before Easter, and Good Friday is two days before.
Orthodox churches calculate Easter on the Julian calendar, so their Easter is often one to five weeks later and sometimes falls on the same day.
Easter Monday is a public holiday in the UK (except Scotland), Canada (some provinces), Australia and much of Europe. Good Friday is a public holiday in many of the same places.
