That'd be up to the churches - what do you do now? Do you celebrate
Easter in your spring or at the same time as the rest of the world?
I assume the latter, in which case just change my statement above to
read "the actual March equinox". The equinoxes and
full moons happen at the same time the world over; it's just that
our spring equinox is your autumn equinox and vice-versa.
