Orthodox Easter countdown
No countdown running. Create yours below.
Orthodox Easter follows the Julian calendar: it falls on the same day as Western Easter or up to five weeks later. The countdown above shows the time left until midnight on that Sunday, at your local time.
Greece, Cyprus, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Russia, Ukraine and Georgia celebrate Easter on this date, as do many communities around the world. The table gives the next dates.

Frequently asked questions
Does the countdown follow my local time?
Yes: it reaches zero at midnight, in your device’s time. Two people in different time zones therefore do not see the same time left.
Can I create a countdown for another date?
Yes: the countdown page lets you choose any date and time, with a title and a link to share.
