In 2025, Easter Sunday will be celebrated on April 20. This day is one of the most important in the Christian calendar, marking the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
This year, both Western (Catholic and Protestant) and Eastern Orthodox Christians will celebrate Easter on the same day, which is a unique coincidence.
Here are some important dates leading up to Easter 2025:
- Ash Wednesday: March 5, 2025 (start of Lent)
- Palm Sunday: April 13, 2025
- Good Friday: April 18, 2025
- Holy Saturday: April 19, 2025
- Easter Sunday: April 20, 2025
Easter’s date varies each year because it’s tied to the lunar cycle and the spring equinox. It’s always celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox.
