Easter 1701
Tuesday, November 28th, 2006 03:56 amI am trying to discover the date of Easter 1701.
Some sites give me 27th March. (As does the EASTERSUNDAY(yr) function in OpenOffice Calc).
Others give me 20th April.
The sites I've been reviewing are calculation-based.
There is roughly equal consensus on those two dates, with no others being mentioned.
Both these dates are Sundays (unless you believe the WEEKDAY function in OpenOffice Calc!)
And of course there is the added complication of Julian versus Gregorian dating. (The difference between the two dates is too large to be accounted for by this, though.)
Can anyone say for sure which date is correct? And on what basis?
