Sample formulas used in Template:Infobox holiday/date:
For some holidays, this is still defined on the holiday page itself. For First Day of Summer, this would be:
| date = first Thursday after 18 April
| date{{LASTYEAR}} = {{Weekday after date|{{LASTYEAR}}|April|18|Thursday}}
| date{{CURRENTYEAR}} = {{Weekday after date|{{CURRENTYEAR}}|April|18|Thursday}}
| date{{NEXTYEAR}} = {{Weekday after date|{{NEXTYEAR}}|April|18|Thursday}}
| date{{#time:Y|+2 years}} = {{Weekday after date|{{#time:Y|+2 years}}|April|18|Thursday}}
