Easter without using org-agenda-holidays?

Easter without using org-agenda-holidays?

[andrew mcintosh]

I'm Canadian and have made an .org file including all the major Canadian holidays in it except for the Easter holidays.  Is there a way to include it without using org-agenda-holidays?  I'm not interested in knowing when it's Columbus Day, and more importantly, the American Thanksgiving is conflicts with the Canadian Thanksgiving (they're not even in the same month!)

I think the simplest way is just to include the actual date in your org 
file. If you want a challenge here are a couple of ways of finding the 
date for Easter using elisp. You might be able to use this to return a 
diary sexp, that you can include in your org file:
