Date of Easter

The date of Easter Sunday is calculated with the Gregorian calendar applying the present rules of western churches. The calculation is possible between the years 1583 and 4099. Please consider in every calculation whether the used rules were valid at the year and place in question.
Easter sunday is the first sunday after the spring full moon. The other calculated days are shifted correspondingly (e.g. Shrove Tuesday 47 days before Easter, Whit Sunday 49 days after Easter). The dates of some days, which are not mentioned, may easily be determined (e.g. Good Friday is 2 days before Easter).
More information about the calculation of Easter dates you may find in the internet, e.g. on "GM Arts Home Page". Parts of the calculation have been taken from that page.

Usage: Type the year into the input field at the top. Click on the "calculate" button or any empty space of the window. Read the result. Use the "reset" button to reset your calculation.
