I'm an astronomer, and I teach at a Catholic college (though I'm not religious myself).

I had absolutely no idea how complicated the date of Easter is. Wow.

@sundogplanets Hilda of Whitby says "hold my beer"

"Bede present[s] the synod as a victory for the Roman party...[but doubted their use in Rome]. He produced his own version based on the Alexandrian tables, as amended by Dionysius...in his De Temporibus (703) and in more detail in his De Temporum Ratione (716–25). The Bedan tables came to be accepted in the British Isles and the Carolingian Empire in the ninth century and in Rome in the tenth."
