Easter 2025 Orthodox refers to the celebration of Easter according to the Eastern Orthodox Church’s liturgical calendar. Unlike the Western Christian churches, which observe Easter on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox, the Orthodox Church follows the Julian calendar, resulting in a different date for Easter.
The Orthodox Church places great importance on Easter, as it commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, considered the central event in the Christian faith. The date of Easter 2025, specifically, is significant as it falls on April 20th. This date aligns with the Orthodox tradition of celebrating Easter on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox on March 21st. The Orthodox Church’s adherence to the Julian calendar, which is 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar used by most of the world, leads to a divergence in the date of Easter compared to Western Christian churches.
