I was looking up next years Easter date and it popped up that both western and orthodox churches will all celebrate the same day, which is unusual. I didn't realize they were different till Nick mentioned that someone he works with said the Greek celebrate it later. Maybe it's not that he's greek, but orthodox.4cunninghamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04199415002439439934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805504101401683454.post-85261439184563821952009-04-13T09:07:00.000-05:002009-04-13T09:07:00.000-05:00Slight quibble: "the Orthodox Church holds that Pascha cannot be held until Passover is over." According to that Wikipedia article and what Father Bill was saying Wednesday, Pascha doesn't ever take place until Passover has at least started, but it doesn't have to be over. And, I'm not sure this is an actual rule so much as it is simply a result of how things worked out in the Julian calendar. It is, however, obviously important to the Orthodox we have spoken with, so perhaps it's one of the reasons that the Orthodox church didn't want to switch over to using the Gregorian calendar to calculate the date of Easter.Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6805504101401683454.post-29676355223469630302009-04-12T22:27:00.000-05:002009-04-12T22:27:00.000-05:00nicely said!Jason and Karla Aukermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04617664173293703840noreply@blogger.com
