Some comments about the Matlab-code itself. Inputs like 'zeros(2,1)' pass the input test, while they shouldn't. Why not something like
... if numel(day)~=1 ....?
The last test in the two blocks can be moved to the end (the same), and shorter:
e=day==Easterday && month==Eastermonth;

The result doesn't seem to be correct!!

just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
