Happy Easter to you too... About holidays, is Orthodox Easter always a week later than Western Easter (I know that Orthodox Christmas is 12 days after that in the West)?
@emilializ : I happened to see your comment today. No, Orthodox Easter is not always a week after Western Easter; in fact, some years it is the same date. You can read more about how this is determined here.
Contrary to what you have heard, we also celebrate Christmas on December 25th; it is what is known as a "fixed feast," as opposed to Pascha (easter), which is a "movable feast."
Stay on topic. Be polite. Use facts and arguments. Be Brief. Do not post back to back comments in the same thread, unless you absolutely have to. Don't quote excessively. Google before you ask.
