NAME

Date::Easter - Provides a routine to calculate the date of Easter in the Christian calendar

SYNOPSIS

use Date::Easter;
say Easter 2022; # OUTPUT: «2022-04-17␤»

DESCRIPTION

Date::Easter is a module which provides a subroutine to calculate the date of Easter in the Christian calendar. The sub returns a Raku Date object.

The routine's code is the Raku version of the algorithm shown at Isn’t there a simpler way to calculate Easter?. The website is a treasure trove of calendar information, courtesy of the very generous and talented Claus Tøndering, to whom I am greatly indebted.
