It also changes because Easter was originally a Pagan holiday celebrating the equinox and spring with remembrences to Ester or whoever the Goddess of Spring was at the time (many different spellings) - they also had a legend of a person named Attis or something like that in 200 BC that was supposedly dead and resurrected and it is from that story that the christian stories of jesus came from - finally around 300 ad the christians finally wrote the full story of jesus and resurrection and got rid of the pagan story entirely - its all just a bunch of BS that each religion makes up to suit their needs
