Easter 2025 Unites Christian Denominations Worldwide

In 2025, Catholics, Orthodox Christians, and other Christian denominations will celebrate Easter together on April 20 due to the rare alignment of the Gregorian and Julian calendars. This shared date is fostering unity and joy among families of mixed Christian traditions, both in the U.S. and globally, with notable celebrations in Russia and Australia. In Sydney, families with Greek Orthodox and Irish Catholic heritage are embracing their dual backgrounds through communal festivities. In Buffalo, New York, Easter celebrations are marked by both hope and resilience as congregants adapt to church closures while preserving community ties. Charitable efforts, such as Operation Easter in Mariposa County, are bringing support to families in need during the holiday. The next projected convergence of Easter dates is in 2028.
