Calculation of the Date of Pascha
The Following procedure gives the Old Calendar date for Pascha in any year:
- Divide the year by 4. Discard the whole number quotient. The
- remainder = a.
- Divide the year by 7. Discard the quotient. The remainder = b.
- Divide the year by 19. Discard the quotient. The remainder = c.
- Compute (19c +15) / 30. Discard the quotient. The remainder =
- d.
- Compute (2a + 4b - d +34) / 7. Discard the quotient. The
- remainder = e.
- Compute (d + e + 114) / 31. The quotient = f. The remainder =
- g.
"f" is the month in which Pascha occurs (3 = March; 4 = April)
"g+1" is the day of the month.
