Gregorian and Julian Easter are both always in the 35-day range March 22
to April 25 in their respective calendars.
The Gregorian Calendar date of Gregorian Easter Sunday and the Julian
Calendar date of Julian Easter Sunday do not match in 2010, being April
04 and March 22; but those dates do represent the same actual day.
As the two calendars agree about the day-of-week of a given day, and
both put Easter on the Sunday after an approximation to a Full Moon on
or after March 21 on that calendar, coincidences of actual Day are
necessarily common for as long as the calendars differ by well under a
lunar month. There are 271 coincidences of Easter Day following 1582,
the last being in 2698. After about 50 millennia, coincidences of day
between Gregorian Easter of year Y+1 and Julian Easter of year Y begin.
Matches of Date can, of course, only occur in centades in which the two
calendars agree on which Dates are Sundays; one centade in seven, on the
average. Within those centades, the two Full Moons must also be at
least an approximate match.
In 1583-9999, there are 252 years in which the Gregorian and Julian
Dates (YYYY-MM-DD) of Easter match, first 5806, last 8696. I guess that
one will be an Ecclesiastical Moon ahead of the other.
in 0-1582, there are 131 years in which the dates Y/M/D match; 83 in
years 2xx and 48 in years 11xx & 12xx.
