[RFC] Extend holiday-greek-orthodox-easter in calendar

[Foivos S. Zakkak]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2662 bytes --]


* Description

Extend holiday-greek-orthodox-easter to work like holiday-easter-etc.
That is, accept two optional arguments (n string) and calculate the Date
of Nth day after Easter (named STRING), if visible in calendar window.
The date is calculated according to the rule of the Council of Nicaea.

For backwards compatibility, if this function is called with no
arguments, then it returns the Pascha (Greek Orthodox Easter) day.

* The patch
