An easy way to calculate Easter is to write
a program that does this (Y is the year, e.g. 2008):
£ Method:
£ 1. Calculate B = 225 - 11(Y MOD 19).
£ 2. Calculate D = ((B - 21) MOD 30) + 21.
£ 3. If D > 48, subtract 1 from it.
£ 4. Calculate E = (Y + [Y/4] + D + 1) MOD 7.
£ 5. Calculate Q = D + 7 - E.
£ 6. If Q < 32, Easter is in March (on Qth day); else (Q - 31)th April.
I have a Unix script that does this, but I won't bore you with it!
