Greek Easter?

When does Easter fall in Greece this year ?


Would it be appropriate to send my friends Easter e-cards ?


Thankyou.


PS-How do I say Happy Easter in Greek?

Greek Easter?
WK, I'm sorry my friend, you have got mixed up both the Catholic and the Orthodox Easter. The Catholic is this coming Sunday and the Orthodox on the 27th ofApril.


This time the difference between the two is the longest of about 5 weeks. So, Good Friday of the Orthodox Easter is on the 25th April.


It is appropriate to send E-cards as long as they set to arrive after the Friday, when is a day of deep morning in Orthodox religious countries.


As Asimenia said, ΚΑΛΟ ΠΑΣΧΑ, is the wish that applies for the whole period climaxing on Sunday. But For Sunday the most appropriate one is ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ ΑΝΕΣΤΗ.


The first is HAPPY EASTER while the second is CHRIST HAS RISEN.
Reply:The predominant religion is Orthodox, so Good Friday is on April 18 and Easter Sunday is the 27th





Western churches celebrate Easter this coming Sunday March 23.





You can send an e-card. I have gotten mine from friends who are catholics living in Quebec, Canada. I think it is the warm thought that counts, and doesn't need a religious reason to put a smile on friends faces.





Happy Easter is Καλὸ Πάσχα pronounced "Kaló Páskha"


To pronounce it go to this website to hear how it is enunciated http://www.omniglot.com/language/phrases...

Reply:This week (21-27of April 2008 ) is the so called Megali Evdomada, Great Week, which is Easter Week for all Greek Orthodox people. Anyone that has spent this week in Greece will have noticed that it is the most important holiday of the year. This year the Good Friday is on the 25th of April and the Easter Sunday on the 27th of April 2008.


Happy Easter in Greek is Kalo Pasha~
Reply:easter will be the same everywhere as good friday is the same day in religous calendars
