Easter occurs on different dates each year. It is always on a Sunday, though. The time when Easter is celebrated differs because it has to do with that specific year. You have to check the calendar for the year you want to know.
In Western Christianity the date of Easter is determined by using the Gregorian calendar:
2012 - Sunday, April 8
2013 - Sunday, March 31
2014 - Sunday, April 20
2015 - Sunday, April 5
2016 - Sunday, March 27
In Eastern Christianity (Orthodox Easter) the date of Easter is determined by using the Julian Calendar:
2012 - Sunday, April 15
2013 - Sunday, May 5
2014 - Sunday, April 20
2015 - Sunday April 12
2016 - Sunday, May 1
