The holiday I plan to add next is Chinese New Year which has a complex formula.
This Applet below will show you when all the holidays occur in any given year, BC or AD. If the holiday was not celebrated in that year, it will not appear. It will also show you the nearest weekday to any given holiday.
Please report any errors via email. If you are willing to provide the rules for calculating your favourite holidays, I will add them too.
The program is also available with Java source to download and run it either as an Applet or an application.
