 * @brief Determines the [Date of
 * Easter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_of_Easter) after 1582
 *
 * @details
 * The date of Easter is determined in each year through a calculation known as
 * "computus." Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the Paschal full
 * moon, which is the first full moon on or after 21 March. Determining this
 * date in advance requires a correlation between the lunar months and the solar
 * year, while also accounting for the month, date, and weekday of the Julian or
 * Gregorian calendar. The complexity of the algorithm arises because of the
 * desire to associate the date of Easter with the date of the Jewish feast of
 * Passover which, Christians believe, is when Jesus was crucified.
