This method was ported from the work done by GM Arts,
21
on top of the algorithm by Claus Tondering, which was
22
based in part on the algorithm of Ouding (1940), as
23
quoted in "Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical
24
Almanac", P. Kenneth Seidelmann, editor.
26
This algorithm implements three different easter
29
1 - Original calculation in Julian calendar, valid in
31
2 - Original method, with date converted to Gregorian
32
calendar, valid in years 1583 to 4099
33
3 - Revised method, in Gregorian calendar, valid in
34
years 1583 to 4099 as well
36
These methods are represented by the constants:
42
The default method is method 3.
