>>
>> REM [easterdate($Uy) + 49] MSG Pentecost
>> REM MAYBE-UNCOMPUTABLE Sun June 1 --7 SATISFY [$T != easterdate($Uy)+49] MSG Mother's Day
>> REM MAYBE-UNCOMPUTABLE Sun June 1 SATISFY [$T == easterdate($Uy)+56] MSG Mother's Day (delayed)
>>
>> You will *really* need to read the man page to understand the above! :)

Ok, I've finally noticed that "MAYBE-UNCOMPUTABLE" keyword is not available with my remind version (03.03.01).

Hence, I've adjusted the reminders as follows:

IFTRIG Sun June 1 --7
   IF $T != easterdate($Uy)+49
       REM [trigdate()] MSG Mothers' day
   ENDIF
ENDIF

IFTRIG Sun June 1
   IF $T == easterdate($Uy)+56
       REM [trigdate()] MSG Mothers' day (delayed)
   ENDIF
ENDIF
