Orthodox Easter Day 2026 in Croatia

Many Orthodox churches base their Easter date on the Julian calendar, which often differs from the Gregorian calendar that is used by many western countries. Therefore the Orthodox Easter period often occurs later than the Easter period that falls around the time of the March equinox.

Is Orthodox Easter Day a Public Holiday?

This is a legal holiday for Orthodox Christians only. It is not a public holiday for the general population, so schools and most businesses are open.

It is common to crack or smash painted eggs on Orthodox Easter Day.
