Orthodox Easter

Orthodox Easter is a Christian celebration marking the resurrection of Jesus Christ, traditionally observed by Eastern Orthodox Churches. It often falls on a different date than Western Easter because it follows the Julian calendar for calculating Easter instead of the Gregorian calendar. The holiday includes religious services, processions, and festive meals, highlighting themes of renewal and hope. Celebrations typically begin with Holy Week, culminating in Holy Pascha (Easter). The date varies annually but usually occurs in April or May, emphasizing the significance of resurrection and spiritual renewal within the Orthodox Christian faith.
