- This method was ported from the work done by GM Arts,
- on top of the algorithm by Claus Tondering, which was
- based in part on the algorithm of Ouding (1940), as
- quoted in "Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical
- Almanac", P. Kenneth Seidelmann, editor.
- This algorithm implements three different easter
- calculation methods:
- 1 - Original calculation in Julian calendar, valid in
- dates after 326 AD
- 2 - Original method, with date converted to Gregorian
- calendar, valid in years 1583 to 4099
- 3 - Revised method, in Gregorian calendar, valid in
- years 1583 to 4099 as well
- These methods are represented by the constants:
- * ``EASTER_JULIAN = 1``
- * ``EASTER_ORTHODOX = 2``
- * ``EASTER_WESTERN = 3``
- The default method is method 3.
- More about the algorithm may be found at:
- `GM Arts: Easter Algorithms <http://www.gmarts.org/index.php?go=415>`_
- and
- `The Calendar FAQ: Easter <https://www.tondering.dk/claus/cal/easter.php>`_
