Here is our kcEaster function from our KingCalendar product. Just pass it the year and it will return a TDateTime for Easter. Enjoy the code, it was a fun to write function kcEaster( nYear: Integer ): TDateTime; var nMonth, nDay, nMoon, nEpact, nSunday, nGold, nCent, nCorx, nCorz: Integer; begin { The Golden Number of the year in the 19 year Metonic Cycle } nGold := ( ( nYear mod 19 ) + 1 ); { Calculate the Century } nCent := ( ( nYear div 100 ) + 1 ); { No. of Years in which leap year was dropped in order to keep in step with the sun } nCorx := ( ( 3 * nCent ) div 4 - 12 ); { Special Correction to Syncronize Easter with the moon's orbit } nCorz := ( ( 8 * nCent + 5 ) div 25 - 5 ); { Find Sunday } nSunday := ( ( 5 * nYear ) div 4 - nCorx - 10 ); { Set Epact (specifies occurance of full moon } nEpact := ( ( 11 * nGold + 20 + nCorz - nCorx ) mod 30 ); if ( nEpact < 0 ) then nEpact := nEpact + 30; if ( ( nEpact = 25 ) and ( nGold > 11 ) ) or ( nEpact = 24 ) then nEpact := nEpact + 1; { Find Full Moon } nMoon := 44 - nEpact; if ( nMoon < 21 ) then nMoon := nMoon + 30; { Advance to Sunday } nMoon := ( nMoon + 7 - ( ( nSunday + nMoon ) mod 7 ) ); if ( nMoon > 31 ) then begin nMonth := 4; nDay := ( nMoon - 31 ); end else begin nMonth := 3; nDay := nMoon; end; Result := EncodeDate( nYear, nMonth, nDay ); end;
