Orthodox Easter
Definition
Orthodox Easter, also known as Pascha, is the annual Christian feast celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ, observed by Eastern Orthodox and some Oriental Orthodox churches using the Julian or revised Julian calendar, often falling later than Western Easter.
A movable feast typically dated to the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox, per ecclesiastical calculations distinct from the Gregorian calendar used in the West.
