Dear friends,

I would like to know which jurisdictions will celebrate Easter this year according to the Julian calendar and which according to the Gregorian one. Please help me to complete the puzzle.

JULIAN CALENDAR PASCHALION

Orthodox all around the World

Catholics in Greece (Latins, Byzantines, Armenians)

GREGORIAN CALENDAR PASCHALION

Catholics all around the world

Orthodox Church of Finland

Armenian Church in USA


Byzantine Catholic Church in America (Archeparchy

of Pittsburgh)

What about the other Eastern Catholic and Oriental Apostolic (Pre-Calcedonians)Churches
both in America and the rest of the World?

Francisco,

I am told by first-hand witnesses that recently some Orthodox parishes in Slovakia have adopted the Gregorian Paschalion and I have it from a trustworthy source that some parishes in Estonia as well.

The official website "Pravoslavna Cirkev na Slovensku" has a drop-down menu under the word "Kalendar," with two choices: "New Style - Western Paschalion" and "Old Style - Eastern Paschalion."

Sadly, the links to either calendar don't go anywhere!

I do know that all Copts use the Eastern Paschalion; I believe that allMonophysites except Armenians in diaspora use it.

Please note that your terminology is wrong: The differences between the Western (Roman) and Eastern (Alexandrian) Paschalia are far older than the Gregorian Calander. While the adoption of the Gregorian Calander made the two Paschalia more divergent, they were different from before the Council of Nicea.

It is a pure shame that all of us cannot come to an easy agreement on a common celebration of the Easter celebration.

Dear Nelson,

That is mostly, but not completely true. In Greece, for example, and some other places in the Middle East, the Latin Catholics have adopted the date of Orthodox Easter, as a witness. You will find the Latin Catholic Cathedral in Athens celebrating Easter this year, five weeks later.

I thought the Byzantine Catholic Church (formerly the Byzantine-Ruthenian) moved its Paschalion to Julian, no?

Logos Teen,

The Byzantine Catholic Metropolia is 100% new calendar.

Just click on the Archeparchy's web page [archeparchy.org] and check the date and commemoration.

Best wishes for Great Week.

Dear Father Stephanos, As long as we sing that same song of praise, I'm sure that the Lord receives the same glory! Perhaps, since for the Lord there is NO time, but only the same glorious present moment...in the end, our calendars and counting is of little importance anyway? The only thing that matters is that we love Him with all our hearts and sing His praises daily...day and night, constantly and without ceasing. May He bring us all into His present moment one day to glorify Him together with one voice!

In His Holy Name,
Your poor brother,
+Gregory, priestmonk


+Father Archimandrite Gregory, who asks for your holy prayers!

Francisco,

The Orthodox Church of Finland, for reasons that seem to elude all, celebrate Pascha according to the Gregorian Calendar.

Many years,

Neil

Oh, the reasons are quite clear: $$$

Seriously, the Finns adopted the Gregorian calendar in return for Orthodoxy being recognized as the second official state religion.
