Try Chambers online:

ery=easter&title=21st&sourceid=Mozilla-search

"the period during which the festival takes place, thought of as
running from Good Friday to the following Monday, called Easter
Monday."

This definition is not in the 1993 edition of Chambers I keep next to
my computer.  I went all the way down stairs to consult the 2006
edition I used for crosswords.  It was only then I thought to consult
Chambers online.  For some reason, I trust paper dictionaries more than
electronic ones.
