Does it take Easter into account? When is the last year that has the same days as 2019, and has the Easter(s) on the same days?

- carlob 7y agoNo it doesn't: for example Easter was 5th of April in 2015 and it will be again in 2037, but 2009 has Easter on 12th of April (while having the same day of the week structure). If you take into account Orthodox Easter too it's even more complicated as 2009, 2015 and 2037 have different dates for that.
- EADGBE 7y agoJust as a side note: here's an accepted official rule of Easter, which even itself has some differentiation - in my opinion - the craziest (that I know) rotating schedule ever: Easter falls on the first Sunday after the Full Moon date, based on mathematical calculations, that falls on or after March 21. If the Full Moon is on a Sunday, Easter is celebrated on the following Sunday. https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/determining-easter-date.html https://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/determining-easter-date...
- couchand 7y agoWell, the "official rules" depend on which side of the Great Schism you fall on.
- EADGBE 7y agoGood point, I changed my wording.
- jedberg 7y ago> the craziest (that I know) rotating schedule ever I'm guessing you aren't Jewish? Easter is based on the Jewish calendar, but they didn't want to admit that, so they came up with these crazy rules based on the Christian calendar to approximate the Jewish calendar. Easter is supposed to be three days after passover, and in many years, it is, but every few years they are way off and Easter is either a few weeks before or after the Seder.
