Coptic Easter

Coptic Easter, also called Pascha, is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ by the Coptic Orthodox Church in Egypt. It usually falls on a different date than Western Easter because it follows the older Julian calendar and a unique method of calculating the date, based on the timing of the Jewish Passover and the spring equinox. The celebration involves church services, feasts, and processions, affirming faith in Jesus' victory over death. Coptic Easter typically occurs after Western Easter, often emphasizing spiritual renewal and community's shared heritage.
