I admit that I don't use many of those, but I have got Easter, which I
had to modify to fit to the Norwegian Easter celebration¹.  I have got
this in the sitestart.el, again based on your code:

(defun local-holiday-easter-etc ()
  "List of dates related to Easter in Norway, as visible in calendar window."
 (if (and (> displayed-month 5))
     nil;; Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and Easter are not visible.
   (let* ((century (1+ (/ displayed-year 100)))
          (shifted-epact        ;; Age of moon for April 5...
           (% (+ 14 (* 11 (% displayed-year 19));;     ...by Nicaean rule
                 (-           ;; ...corrected for the Gregorian century rule
                  (/ (* 3 century) 4))
                 (/    ;; ...corrected for Metonic cycle inaccuracy.
                  (+ 5 (* 8 century)) 25)
                 (* 30 century));;              Keeps value positive.
              30))
          (adjusted-epact       ;;  Adjust for 29.5 day month.
           (if (or (= shifted-epact 0)
                   (and (= shifted-epact 1) (< 10 (% displayed-year 19))))
               (1+ shifted-epact)
             shifted-epact))
          (paschal-moon       ;; Day after the full moon on or after March 21.
           (- (calendar-absolute-from-gregorian (list 4 19 displayed-year))
              adjusted-epact))
          (abs-easter (calendar-dayname-on-or-before 0 (+ paschal-moon 7)))
          (mandatory
           (list
            (list (calendar-gregorian-from-absolute (- abs-easter 7))
                  "Palmesøndag")
            (list (calendar-gregorian-from-absolute (- abs-easter 3))
                  "Skjærtorsdag")
            (list (calendar-gregorian-from-absolute (- abs-easter 2))
                  "Langfredag")
            (list (calendar-gregorian-from-absolute abs-easter)
                  "1. påskedag")
            (list (calendar-gregorian-from-absolute (+ abs-easter 1))
                  "2. påskedag")
            (list (calendar-gregorian-from-absolute (+ abs-easter 39))
                  "Himmelspretten")
            (list (calendar-gregorian-from-absolute (+ abs-easter 49))
                  "1. pinsedag")
            (list (calendar-gregorian-from-absolute (+ abs-easter 50))
                  "2. pinsedag")))
          (output-list
           (filter-visible-calendar-holidays mandatory)))
     (if all-christian-calendar-holidays
         (setq output-list
               (append 
                (filter-visible-calendar-holidays optional)
                output-list)))
     output-list)))

(eval-after-load "holidays"
  '(fset 'holiday-easter-etc 'local-holiday-easter-etc))

And this works as expected (by me), e.g. the Easter of 2007 is shown
here, with the cursor on Easter Sunday ("1. påskedag"):

Yes, that is of course harder to debug.

¹) We only got 2 and half work day each Easter, with the day off on
the day after Easter Sunday as well.  We basically don't work at all
at Easter.
