How holiday dates are calculated
Western Easter: First Sunday after the first full moon on or after the spring equinox (Gauss's algorithm).
Orthodox Easter: Same rule but using the Julian calendar — typically falls 1–5 weeks after Western Easter.
Ramadan / Eid: Begins at the sighting of the new crescent moon — astronomical predictions are usually within a day of actual local observance.
Lunar New Year: Second new moon after the winter solstice. The animal cycles through a 12-year zodiac.
Hindu festivals (Holi, Diwali): Based on the Hindu lunar calendar.
Jewish holidays: Use the Hebrew lunisolar calendar — dates shift relative to Gregorian by up to ~3 weeks.
