I don't know about other countries but in Singapore, there are a couple
of holidays that are religious in nature and are calculated based on the
movement of the stars and hence are rather hard to compute.
In any case, I figured that updating the holidays file once a year isn't
that much of an effo

After years of wondering how the various UK holiday
dates get calculated, 30 seconds on Google looking for
"Easter" and "algorithm" made it all clear! Just in
