Several months ago I asked myself this question:
How is the date of Easter determined? I had always heard this answer:
Having knowledge of lunar calendars I knew that the vernal equinox is not always on the same day every year contrary to what your calendar says.
So I googled the “Date of Easter”
The first entry was from the United States Navy. Since I am ex-navy I went there. What I found there was revelation in itself. Here is the link:
It turns out the Catholic Church fixed the vernal equinox and by Ecclesiastical Rules established by the Holy Roman Catholic Church.
It’s highly intriguing that the Holy Roman Catholic Church dictates to the rest of the world when Easter is to be celebrated and the United States Government backs this up 100% via the United States Navy!

My question to Protestants:
Especially since, you are unwittingly accepting the Authority of the Roman Catholic Church when you celebrate Easter on the day everybody else does?
