== Online Paschalion Utility ==
You can find the date of Pascha and many Pascha-dependent dates (e.g., the start of Great Lent, Pentecost, etc.) through this online JavaScript [http://www.websamba.com/dismissal/paschalion.htm Paschalion utility] (works best with IE3 or Netscape3 Netscape 3 or above).
This site allows the user to enter a year and uses Oudin's algorithm to compute the relevant dates. Although the Orthodox (Julian-based) formulas are used, the utility returns the corresponding Gregorian calendar dates. For example, in 2005 Pascha falls on Sunday, April 18, on the Julian calendar. That date corresponds to May 1 on the Gregorian calendar.
