Date and Time • LuaCalendar

I'm a complete newbie to LUA calender and started an hour ago with filling the Event.xml with some recurring dates.

What I'd like to add to the dates are the advent Sundays. These are the last four Sundays before Christmas Day and thus obviously no fixed dates. The first Advent day may be as early as Nov., 27th or as late as Dec., 3rd.

The algorithm would be to put the last Sunday before Dec., 25th into a timestamp and march backward 3 times.

My question: How to formulate this algorithm as an easy LUA calendar formula? Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
:???:


Any help appreciated!
Well... you said "easy", so I'm doubting there is an "easy" way. The non-easy way is to write your own function in LUA to do this. Look at the example Smurfier provided for Easter. You'd handle this exactly as you stated, and the same way Easter was handled, along with Good Friday, Ash Wednesday, etc.: find the Sunday before XMas and step back 1 week 3 times.
