This, from a piece in The Independent on the dating process:
So is this the earliest Easter can get?
No. It can be on 22 March, as it was in 1761 and 1818, but that won't
happen until 2285. Its latest possible date is 25 April but we haven't
had that since 1943 and won't again until 2038. The commonest date is
19 April though the full cycle of Easter dates only repeats after
5,700,000 years.
