About Orthodox Christian Holidays

Orthodox Christian holidays follow the liturgical traditions of Eastern Orthodox churches. While many observances share historical origins with other Christian traditions, their dates may differ because of calendar systems and ecclesiastical rules.

Orthodox Easter is the most important movable feast in the Orthodox calendar and often falls on a different date from Western Easter. Other major observances include Christmas, Epiphany, and various feast days recognized across Orthodox communities.

This calendar provides a reference overview of widely observed Orthodox Christian holidays and their dates by year.
