Hi,

A list of Gregorian Easter Sundays from 1582 to 3000, such as in

http://www.phys.uu.nl/~vgent/easter/easter_text2b.htm

suggests that Easter on 24 March is about as rare as Easter on 22 March
(although in the long run it is three times as frequent). After this year no
one now alive will see Easter Sunday occurring on either 22, 23 or 24 March.

Other Easter Sunday dates more than half a century away (when I do not
expect to alive anymore) are 30 March, 3 April, 7 April, 11 April, 15 April,
19 April and 23 April.

Looking at the latest possible Easter Sunday dates 24 April also appears to
be more frequent as 23 April or 25 April, though in the long run 23 April
will be more frequent as 24 April, which in turn will be more frequent as 25
April.
