About the Orthodox Christian Celebration of Easter
Ends: May 05, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. It is considered the holiest day of the Christian calendar and marks the fulfillment of the biblical promise to Abraham—that from his line, the Messiah would come, and through Him, all nations (people) of the world would be blessed.
The Bible tells of Jesus' friends discovering that He had risen from the dead at dawn on the third day after His crucifixion (known as Good Friday).
Orthodox Easter is later than Latin Easter because Christian Orthodox Church continues to follow the Julian calendar when calculating the date of Easter, which is thirteen days behind the Gregorian. Emperor Julius Cesar created the Julian calendar. The Gregorian calendar used today as the standard by Pope Gregory originated in the Roman Catholic church. Orthodox Christians of Greece, Russian and other regions do not follow the Catholic Pope.
The Orthodox Church continues to adhere to the rule set forth by the First Ecumenical Council, held in Nicea in 325 AD, requiring Easter to take place after the Jewish Passover to maintain the Biblical sequence of Christ's Passion.
Christians traditionally celebrate this renewal of life and the forgiveness of sin with colored Easter eggs. Legends say these eggs are brought and hidden by a rabbit. Rabbits are the ancient symbol of spring and renewal. However, the Easter eggs and the Easter bunny are not a part of the Bible. Each is symbolism. Eggs and bunnies remind people of new life granted to them through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
