There's a message from 3/20/2002 by vourlias and he explains it in there. I suppose it is correct.

: I know that Greek Orthodox Easter must be after the first full moon after the spring equinox and always after the Jewish Passover, but what other calculations are also included to arrive at the date? I mean, this year the first full moon after the spring equinox is March 28 (the same day as the Jewish Passover), so shouldn't GO Easter be this Sunday 3 April (along with the western Christians)? So there must be other elements to the equation of the dates, does anyone know them?
