arguments
| Field | Purpose | Example argument |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Year | 2024 or 1882
|
| method | Calculation method of the Easter date:
|
Eastern to calculate Easter date in the Orthodox rite.
|
| day | Name of the event related to Easter date or integer number of days before (negative) or after (positive) Easter Sunday. The following days are available by name:
|
49 or interchangeably Pentecost

--[[
PURPOSE: This function returns Easter Sunday day and month
for a specified year and method.
INPUTS: Year - Any year between 326 and 4099.
Method - 1 = the original calculation based on the
Julian calendar
2 = the original calculation, with the
Julian date converted to the
equivalent Gregorian calendar
3 = the revised calculation based on the
Gregorian calendar
OUTPUTS: None.
RETURNS: 0, error message - Error; invalid arguments
month, day - month and day of the Sunday
NOTES:
The code is translated from DN OSP 6.4.0 sources.
The roots of the code might be found in
http://www.gmarts.org/index.php?go=415
ORIGINAL NOTES:
This algorithm is an arithmetic interpretation
of the 3 step Easter Dating Method developed
by Ron Mallen 1985, as a vast improvement on
the method described in the Common Prayer Book
Published Australian Almanac 1988
Refer to this publication, or the Canberra Library
for a clear understanding of the method used
Because this algorithm is a direct translation of
the official tables, it can be easily proved to be
100% correct
It's free! Please do not modify code or comments!
