This function was ported from the work done by GM Arts, 

on top of the algorithm by Claus Tondering, which was 

based in part on the algorithm of Ouding (1940), as 

quoted in "Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical 

Almanac", P. Kenneth Seidelmann, editor. 

 

This function implements three different easter 

calculation algorithms: 

 

1 - Original calculation in Julian calendar, valid in 

dates after 326 AD 

2 - Original algorithm, with date converted to Gregorian 

calendar, valid in years 1583 to 4099 

3 - Revised algorithm, in Gregorian calendar, valid in 

years 1583 to 4099 as well 

 

These algorithms are represented by the constants: 

 

EASTER_JULIAN = 1 

EASTER_ORTHODOX = 2 

EASTER_WESTERN = 3 

 

The default algorithm is algorithm 3. 

 

More about the algorithm may be found at: 

 

http://users.chariot.net.au/~gmarts/eastalg.htm 

 

and
