May Day may be moved if it coincides with Paska, exact dates of Kefalonia massacre difficult to determine.

The spreadsheet formula for calculating Greek Easter is based on the Oudin algorithm I found on Claus Tondering's website.
The spreadsheet formula for calculating Western Easter is a slightly modified version of one I found on contextures.com and, as it says, should be accurate for dates from 1900 - 2203.
