And Easter also stands for a clash of cultures, or genders: moon and female vs. sun and male. Or their marriage... At least for some part of the world. (Christians liked to recycle local traditions in order to make the adoption of the new religion easy in those early days. So Easter is probably much elder than a few thousand years. And folks then could calculate the date without GNU Emacs! Incredible.)
