Orthodox Easter Sunday in 1976 was on Sunday, April 25

Orthodox Easter Sunday, also known as Pascha, is the principal feast of the Eastern Orthodox Christian Church, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. The date of Orthodox Easter Sunday is determined by the Julian calendar and is often different from the date observed in Western Christianity (using the Gregorian calendar).

The Orthodox Easter date is calculated based on a combination of lunar and solar cycles. It falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox. This means that the date of Orthodox Easter can vary but generally falls between April 4 and May 8.

The celebration involves midnight services, liturgical processions, and the proclamation of the resurrection. Orthodox Christians worldwide participate in these joyous festivities, emphasizing the central tenet of their faith—the victory of life over death through the resurrection of Christ.
