You are breaking the Remind algorithm.  One way to get it to work is
to use:

REM [easterdate(year(today()))+49] ++7 MSG %"Pentecost%" %b%

Run it with the various debugging flags; watch the Intro to Remind
video and read the slides at
https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/download/remind-oclug.pdf to
understand the Remind algorithm and figure out why my version
works. :)

Specifically, run both versions on 2022-04-16 (day before Easter 2022)
and 2022-04-18 (day after Easter 2022) and see the difference.

Regards,

Dianne.
