I have:

	SET easter EASTERDATE(YEAR(TODAY()))

and then, e.g.:

	REM [TRIGGER(easter-2)]  MSG %"Good Friday%" %b%
	REM [TRIGGER(easter-1)]  MSG %"Holy Saturday%" %b%
	REM [TRIGGER(easter)]    MSG %"Easter Sunday%" %b%
	REM [TRIGGER(easter+7)]  MSG %"Divine Mercy Sunday%" %b%
	REM [TRIGGER(easter+49)] MSG %"Pentecost%" %b%

I got these from http://wiki.43folders.com/index.php/UK_Holidays
