It is the greatest feast of Christianity, as we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, while the custom dictates his traditional skewering of obelia, however, many seek when it falls the next three days to plan a short escape in time, but also when schools close. Easter is a mobile holiday, so every year its date differs, since it is calculated on the basis of Easter and spring equinox. CORVERSE Thus, Orthodox Easter is determined on the basis of the old calendar and is celebrated on the first Sunday after the full moon of the spring equinox, as long as it does not coincide with the Jewish Easter. In the opposite, Catholic Easter follows the new calendar (Grigorian). This year, the Holy Week of the Lord’s Passions begins on April 14, 2025, when Easter falls on April 2025, while it coincides calendarly for Orthodox and Catholics. Therefore, the last day that students will take classes, before Easter holidays, is Friday (1.4.2025), while returning to school halls again on Monday (28.4.2025), after Thomas’ Sunday. CORVERSE In early March, however, young and old will be able to enjoy moments of relaxation as it results in a three-day holiday on the occasion of the holiday of Pure Monday (3 March 2025). As the custom defines, the Clean Monday, we do a kuluma in the countryside, fly kites and eat sarcostian dishes and the traditional rabbit. Clearly Monday, however, also marks the beginning of the Great Lent, namely the period of strict fasting, repentance and prayer to prepare for Easter.
