To Find Easter Day

When one has both tho Golden Number and the Sunday Letter for any 
particular year, then the date of Easter Day may be found in the 
Calendar, pages 21 and 22, as follows:

  1.  The Golden Number prefixed to a day in the month of March or April 
in the Calendar marks the date of the full moon in that year.

  2.  Easter Day will be the next date bearing the Sunday Letter of that 
year.  But when the Golden Number of a given year and the Sunday Letter 
of that year occur on the same date, then Easter day is one week later.  
(For example, if the Golden Number is 19--which appears in the Calendar 
prefixed to March 27--and the Sunday Letter is [d], then Easter Day in 
that year will fall on March 29.  If the Golden Number is 10 and the 
Sunday Letter is [A], then Easter Day will fall on April 9.  But if the 
Golden Number is 19 and the Sunday Letter is [b], then Easter Day will 
be one week later, namely April 3.)
