Pâques Orthodoxe 2026 : Date, Traditions & Différences Catholiques
Le guide complet pour tout savoir sur Pâques orthodoxe. Tradition, date 2026, découvrez pourquoi orthodoxes & catholiques ne fêtent pas Pâques le même jour.
boutique-orthodoxe.comOrthodox Easter is celebrated on different dates in different countries due to the use of the Julian calendar by many Orthodox churches. In 2026, Orthodox Easter fell on Sunday, April 12 in most Orthodox churches that follow the Julian calendar.
Key countries and regions where Orthodox Easter is traditionally celebrated on that date (April 12, 2026), with common notes:
- Greece, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Serbia, Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, Romania, Georgia, Mountenegro, North Macedonia, and other Orthodox-majority communities typically observed Easter on this day.
- Countries with mixed Christian denominations (e.g., Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Moldova, parts of the Balkans, and parts of the Middle East like Lebanon) may have both Orthodox and Catholic/Protestant celebrations, sometimes on different dates or with dual observances within communities.
- In some places with significant Orthodox minorities or diaspora communities (e.g., the United States, Canada, Australia), communities often celebrate Orthodox Easter on the Julian-calendar date, while many Western churches celebrate Easter on the Gregorian date, leading to two separate celebrations in the same country.
If you’d like, I can provide a country-by-country list for 2026 with the specific Orthodox Easter date and any notes about local observances. I can also include a simple comparison table showing which countries typically celebrate on April 12, 2026 versus those that observed on a different date that year due to calendar practices.
Would you like me to compile that concise country list and a small table?
