easterDay(year) ⇒ Date

Calculates the local date of the Easter day –aka Pascha or Resurrection Sunday– for years between 100 and 9999 in the Gregorian calendar, based on Oudin's algorithm.

Easter always falls on a Sunday between March 22 and April 25, inclusive.

NOTE: The result for years less than 1583 could be inaccurate.

This is a good algorithm, but calculating the Easter is not an exact science or something consensuated, so expect discrepancies with older or future implementations.
