The date the holiday is observed changes depending on the year because it is one of several "moveable feasts" in the liturgical year. Other examples of "moveable feasts" include Ash Wednesday and Palm Sunday. Other holidays fall on the same number of dates every year like St. Patrick's Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
