SET _pentecote easterdate(year(today()))+49
REM [trigger(_pentecote)] MSG Pentecôte
IFTRIG Sun 1 Jun -7
   IFTRIG [trigger(_pentecote)]
   ELSE
      MSG Fête des Mère
   ENDIF
ENDIF
IFTRIG Sun 1 Jun
   IF [(_pentecote+7)==today()]
      MSG Fête des Mère
   ENDIF	
ENDIF

The previous solution is executed only once in a year for
Mother's day. This year it gives 3rd of June for Mother's day and next
year 25th of May 2008.
