Kalujan awaits late Easter in 2027

Orthodox Kalugans will celebrate Easter on May 2, 2027, almost three weeks later than in 2026.

Due to the late date of the holiday, the dates of other church events will change. Palm Sunday falls on April 25, the Ascension of the Lord on June 10, the Trinity on June 20. Lent will begin on March 15, and Petrov will last only two weeks - from June 28 to July 11.

The main service will be held on the night of 1 to 2 May. On Holy Saturday, believers will be able to sanctify cakes, eggs and cottage cheese Easter. After the festive liturgy in the temples will be consecrated arthos – church bread, which at the end of the Bright Week will be distributed to parishioners.

The earliest possible date for Easter is April 4, the latest is May 8. The last time the holiday was celebrated on May 8 in 1983, and the next time it will be on this date in 2078. Pravmir reports.
