clarification on julian/gregorian calendars & Easter

[John D Kachur]

Worthy Colleagues,

Among other Web resources Mr. Jacobson did not mention, see the
"Calculation of the Ecclesiastical Calendar" at

http://cssa.stanford.edu/~marcos/ec-cal.html

Here you'll find:

lists for Eastern and Western Easter from 1875-2124;
a program for figuring the date af Easter according to Julian
or Gregorian calendars fro any year from 325 A.D. on;
a brief explanation of how the Easter dates are calculated;
and a brief history of why East and West use different criteria.

Sincerely,

John
