clarification
a = Year mod 4<br>b = Year mod 7<br>c = Year mod 19<br>d = (19c + 15) mod 30<br>e = (2a + 4b - d + 34) mod 7<br>f = Int((d + e + 114) / 31)<br>g = ((d + e + 114) mod 31) + 1<br>f is the month of Pascha.<br>g is the day of Pascha. For example, if f is 3 and g is 27, then Pascha occurs on March 27.
Important, this returns the date of Pascha ONLY on the [[Old Calendar]]. To get the Gregorian date, add 13 daysduring the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
