No Easter - it should be March 27

Reproducible: Always

Date of Easter is observed on different dates in different christian religious
denominations, so there is no universal date.
Also, it depends on lunar calendar and equinox, not on gregorian calendar month,
so there is no way to write an RFC2445 recurrence rule.
MozCalendar/Sunbird0.2 do not currently support RFC2445 RDATE, so there is no
way to easily specify a list of dates.

There have been many requests for support of Easter.  bug 242499 is the
confirmed bug for all relative holiday dates.  Marking duplicate.
