Easter Calculation

HOW TO CALCULATE WHEN EASTER WILL FALL.

Easter is always on the first Sunday after the first full moon, on or after the 21^st of March. The earliest possible date is the 22^nd of March. There are 35 possible dates, but Easter has not fallen on the earliest date since 1818 & will not do so again until 2285. The latest possible date is April 25^th, which happened in 1943 & will next fall on that date in 2038. It has been worked out that the cycle of Easter dates repeats after exactly 5,700,000 years, with April 19^th being the most common date, occurring 220,400 times. SIMPLE HUH?
