If you are feeling particularly "mathy" you can use this formulae... ====================================== The Penrose formulae for Calculating Easter: Calculate D="'225'" - 11(Y MOD 19). If D is greater than 50 then subtract multiples of 30 until the resulting new value of D is less than 51. If D is greater than 48 subtract 1 from it. Calculate E="'(Y" +' [Y/4] + D + 1) MOD 7. (NB Integer part of [Y/4]) Calculate Q="'D +'" 7 - E. If Q is less than 32 then Easter is in March. If Q is greater than 31 then Q - 31 is its date in April. For example, for 1998: D = 225 - 11*(1998 MOD 19) = 225 - 11*3 = 192 D is greater than 50, therefore: D = (192 - 5*30) = 42 E = (1998 + [1998/4] + 42 + 1) MOD 7="'2540'" MOD 7="'6'" Q = 42 + 7 - 6="'43'" ====================================== or this... 2024 Easter Sunday Mar 31 2025 Easter Sunday Apr 20 2026 Easter Sunday Apr 5 2027 Easter Sunday Mar 28 2028 Easter Sunday Apr 16 2029 Easter Sunday Apr 1 2030 Easter Sunday Apr 21 2031 Easter Sunday Apr 13 2032 Easter Sunday Mar 28 2033 Easter Sunday Apr 17 2034 Easter Sunday Apr 9   I have a weekly blog at biblicaltrumpets.org.
