Easter 2025 falls on April 20 for both Orthodox and Catholic Christians. What traditions should you follow, and what should you avoid? Here's everything you need to know about this special holiday!
Easter is one of the most significant Christian holidays, symbolizing the triumph of life over death and light over darkness. On this day, believers commemorate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, a central event in the Christian faith. Easter is always celebrated with special traditions, festive meals, and spiritual renewal. Let's explore when Easter 2025 is celebrated, how to prepare for it, and what customs to follow—or avoid—on this important day.
Easter is celebrated on a different date each year because it follows the lunisolar calendar. In 2025, both Orthodox and Catholic Easter will fall on April 20—a rare occasion when both Christian traditions observe the holiday on the same day.
By the way, we've also put together the best Easter greetings!
This happens because the two branches of Christianity use different calendars to determine Easter:
Easter is set according to the rules established by the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD:
Since Orthodox Christians calculate the equinox according to the Julian calendar, their date usually falls about 13 days later than in the Western tradition. This often leads to different Easter dates.
However, in 2025, both calendars align: the full moon after the equinox occurs at a time that results in Easter falling on April 20 in both traditions.
Such coincidences are rare—occurring only once every few years. The last time Orthodox and Catholic Easter fell on the same day was in 2017, and the next time will be in 2028.
Easter is widely celebrated, bringing together family and loved ones. In the morning, people attend church to bless their holiday foods and start the day on a festive note. Afterward, they gather for a joyful celebration with their families.
Here are the key Easter traditions to follow:
Easter is rooted in biblical tradition, celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. According to Christian belief, He was crucified on Good Friday and rose from the dead on the third day, conquering death. The holiday has deep religious meaning and carries specific customs regarding what should and shouldn't be done.
Here are some things to avoid on Easter 2025:
Easter is a time of spiritual renewal, uniting families and reminding everyone of the importance of faith, kindness, and love. In 2025, Easter falls on April 20, and Christians worldwide will celebrate with prayer, festive meals, and time-honored traditions. May this Easter bring you joy, peace, and blessings! Christ is Risen!
Easter 2025 falls on April 20, a rare occasion when Orthodox and Catholic Christians celebrate on the same day.
Not very often—this overlap occurs only once every few years. The last time was in 2017, and the next will be in 2028.
Easter follows a lunisolar calendar. It is observed on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox. Because Orthodox and Catholic churches use different calendars (Julian and Gregorian), their Easter dates usually differ—except in years like 2025, when the calculations align.
