Line 23:

In the year 400 CE, Easter Sunday is April 1st, making Ascension Thursday May 10th and Pentecost May 20th. It is ahistorical to give a date so far back for either Trinity Sunday or Corpus Christi, neither of which were observed until centuries later, but they would have been May 27th and 31st.

Skipping forward to the year 2100 CE, assuming the rules don't change between now and then, the Western churches will observe Easter on March 28, Ascension Thursday May 6th, Pentecost May 16th, Trinity Sunday May 23rd and Corpus Christi May 27th. Heading East, the Orthodox rules place Easter on April 18 that year, but that's in the ~~old~~ Julian calendar; the Gregorian or Revised Julian date is May 2nd. That puts the Ascension on June 10th and Pentecost June 20th. Orthodox Trinity Sunday is the same day as Pentecost, so that's still June 20th, while Corpus Christi is a purely Catholic date that has no Orthodox version.
