The date for Easter (Holy Pascha) is fixed by church canons. It would require an Ecumenical Synod to change that.

Of course it’s purely coincidental, but the first Ecumenical Synod in almost seven hundred years is scheduled to convene in 2016.

“... the first Ecumenical Synod in almost seven hundred years is scheduled to convene in 2016.”

Are you sure? The representatives of the Bishop of Rome will be participating? That’s news, good news, but news nevertheless.
