The Golden Number, Epact, and Sunday Letter are useful in calculating the date of Easter. If you’re looking for a detailed description of where each of these figures comes from, I recommend the Calendar FAQ, but I can give you a brief introduction to each. For more information about using the Golden Number and Sunday Letters, see a Table to Find Easter and the General Tables for Finding Easter Day.
