| 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. |
| |
