When is Easter this year, and when is Orthodox Easter? A free Windows app with every Christian holiday for any year, for the Western, Orthodox and Armenian churches.

Overview

ChristianHolidays shows the dates of Christmas, Easter and the whole church year for any year from 1583 to 4099. Choose the churches you follow: Western (Catholic, Protestant and Anglican), Orthodox on the new calendar, Orthodox on the old Julian calendar, or the Armenian Apostolic Church – and see them side by side.

The Easter card compares Western and Orthodox Easter for any year, shows how many weeks apart they are, and highlights the years when all Christians celebrate together. Every holiday that moves with Easter is included: Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Ascension, Pentecost, Corpus Christi and more, along with Christmas, Epiphany, the Annunciation, the Assumption, Advent and popular saints' days.

The Today card shows the season of the church year (Advent, Lent, Easter season…), today's holidays, the date in the Julian calendar, and a countdown to the next Christmas or Easter. Each holiday also has its traditional name in Latin, Greek, Russian or Armenian.

Export any year to Outlook, Google Calendar or Apple Calendar as an .ics file. Everything is calculated on your PC: no internet, no account, and no administrator rights to install.

Both are the Sunday after the first full moon of spring, but Orthodox churches calculate it with the Julian calendar. The two dates coincide in some years and are up to five weeks apart in others; ChristianHolidays shows both for any year.

Why do some churches celebrate Christmas on 7 January?

Churches that keep the Julian calendar, such as the Russian, Serbian and Georgian Orthodox churches, celebrate on 25 December of that calendar, which is 7 January in the Gregorian calendar. The Armenian Church celebrates Christmas and Theophany together on 6 January.
