Anyone know where I can find calendars online for next year, the year afer, etc.? Specifically looking for dates of holidays for the next several years.

Thanks.

Since 2000 was a leap year (unlike 1900, 1800, etc), we didn’t interrupt the 28 year cycle by crossing the century. So you can subtract 28 years and use that calendar.

Or use the calendar utility on your machine which probably allows you to look at future calendars. If nothing else, you can bring up the Windows “Adjust Date/Time” screen and set the year ahead to see the calendar for that year, then cancel out.

Background:

There are 14 possible calendars, obviously (it can start on 1 of 7 days, and be leap or non-leap). In absence of century boundary screwing it up, it takes 28 years to cycle through an invariant pattern - the 7 year starting day cycle imposed on the 4 year leap year cycle. During that 28 years, you hit every leap year calendar once, and repeat the others 3 times each.

Thanks, yabob, but this won’t give me holidays, which as I said in the OP was what I was specifically looking for.

And thanks, ENugent; I went and registered and [anyday.com](http://anyday.com), but when I went to look, for example, for Easter 2001, it wasn’t there; I don’t think they do their holidays far enough in advance for my purposes. But it’s an interesting site that I may find useful otherwise, so thanks again.
