Dear Fabio,

I think the Spencer-Jones algorithm is
now widely accepted as defining when
Easter will be observed (by both the
Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican
Church for the foreseeable future).

What is interesting is just how often
it produces the same date as the naive
rule of 'the first Sunday after the
first full moon after the equinox'.

This year is clearly an exception
because the algorithm and the
naive rule give different answers.

Do you know how often the algorithm
and the naive rule differ?

You are allowed to choose your own
defintion of 'Sunday'!

Ciao Frank
