SOLVING TWO PROBLEMS RELATED TO DETERMINING THE DATE FOR EASTER

Abstract

In this paper we solve two technical problems concerning Easter data. Thus over a period of 917 years, i.e. between 1583 and 2499, we will calculate Easter dates in the two churches (Orthodox and Catholic), we determine all pairs and triples of consecutive years with the same Easter dates and we will find other interesting results in this sense. We will also find the mistake in determining the date of Orthodox Easter after 2100. To justify their answers to a number of questions that may occur in connection with establishment of Easter data all results and their consequences are presented in tables.
