+ This method was ported from the work done by GM Arts,
+ on top of the algorithm by Claus Tondering, which was
+ based in part on the algorithm of Ouding (1940), as
+ quoted in "Explanatory Supplement to the Astronomical
+ Almanac", P. Kenneth Seidelmann, editor.
+
+ This algorithm implements three different easter
+ calculation methods:
+
+ 1 - Original calculation in Julian calendar, valid in
+ dates after 326 AD
+ 2 - Original method, with date converted to Gregorian
+ calendar, valid in years 1583 to 4099
+ 3 - Revised method, in Gregorian calendar, valid in
+ years 1583 to 4099 as well
+
+ These methods are represented by the constants:
+
+ * ``EASTER_JULIAN = 1``
+ * ``EASTER_ORTHODOX = 2``
+ * ``EASTER_WESTERN = 3``
+
+ The default method is method 3.
+
+ More about the algorithm may be found at:
+
+ `GM Arts: Easter Algorithms <http://www.gmarts.org/index.php?go=415>`_

+ and
