Orthodox Easter
Easter is a major festival of the Christian church year, celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus on the third day after the Crucifixion. In Western churches, Easter falls on a Sunday between March 22 and April 25, depending on the date of the first full moon after the spring equinox. This time was fixed after the Council of Nicaea (325 CE). In the Eastern Orthodox calendar, which uses a different calculation, Easter often falls later. A joyful festival and a time of redemption, Easter brings an end to the long period of penitential preparation that constitutes Lent.
