/// A valid Gregorian year

    int k = c % 4;
    int L = (32 + 2 * e + 2 * i - h - k) % 7;
    int m = (a + 11 * h + 22 * L) / 451;
    int month = (h + L - 7 * m + 114) / 31;
    int day = ((h + L - 7 * m + 114) % 31) + 1;
    DateTime dt = new DateTime(year, month, day);
    return dt;
}

Easter Monday = Easter Sunday + 1
Ascension Day = Easter Sunday + 39
Pentecost Sunday = Easter Sunday + 49
Pentecost Monday = Easter Sunday + 50
