Orthodox Easter 2027 falls on May 2, 2027. Here are a few notes to help you plan:
- Why the date differs: Orthodox Easter is calculated using the Julian calendar and lunar cycles, so it often occurs later than Western Easter.
- Global observance: Most Orthodox churches (Russia, Greece, Ukraine, Serbia, etc.) celebrate Pascha on May 2, 2027, though some local calendars may differ by one week depending on regional church decisions.
- Related feasts: Many Holy Week and Easter-related observances (Palm Sunday, Great Friday, Holy Saturday) are tied to the Easter date, so expect those around late April to early May 2027.
If you’d like, I can pull recent sources confirming this date and provide a quick list of related moveable feasts for 2027.
