In some Eastern Orthodox churches, they use the Julian calendar, not the Gregorian one. So their Easter Friday can be weeks later. In 2026, Orthodox Good Friday is May 3. That’s over a month later.
Imagine celebrating the same holiday twice. Some families do! They hunt eggs in March, then again in May. Double the chocolate. Double the confusion. I call that a gift.
So, whether you’re religious, secular, or just here for the Peeps, remember: Easter Friday, March 29, 2026, is a visit from a very old, very quirky friend. It’s tied to the moon, baked in math, and topped with a sticky bun. Enjoy the ride.
Now go buy your hot cross buns early. They sell out fast. And maybe hide a few eggs in the snow? It’s fine. Just don’t forget to check the moon.
