9.3.11

a question for the christians...

my knowledge on christianity is rusty (on certain things anyway); so if someone could please refresh my memory; esp. on this ash wednesday.
and since it is ash wednesday, christians are entering lent; which leads to easter, the death and resurrection of jesus.  this is all well and good.
however; my question is more of a logical one.
now...i would like to believe that all christians don't believe that jesus was born on december twenty-fifth.  that you are smart enough to know that he was (provided he was) born in the summer months.  and that the christians of ancient rome, in a sense, hijacked the holiday from the romans.  but no need to get into that here.
now...christmas is the same date every year.  something solid.  i could deal with that.
why is easter a different day each year?  i would think that the death of someone is the same day every year.  it is with the death of the people that i knew.  so why is it a different day each year?
someone help with this....
