Easter 2025 Orthodox and Catholic refers back to the celebration of Easter within the yr 2025 in line with the traditions and practices of the Orthodox and Catholic Christian church buildings. Easter is an important vacation within the Christian liturgical yr, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the lifeless.
In 2025, Orthodox Christians will rejoice Easter on April 20, whereas Catholic Christians will rejoice on April 13. This distinction in dates is because of the usage of completely different calendars by the 2 church buildings. The Orthodox Church makes use of the Julian calendar, whereas the Catholic Church makes use of the Gregorian calendar. Whereas the 2 calendars have been in sync in 1582 when the Gregorian calendar was launched by Pope Gregory XIII, the Orthodox Church didn’t undertake it and the calendars have progressively drifted aside since.
