Orthodox Good Friday 2026 in Greece

Millions of Orthodox Christians commemorate Good Friday, also known as “Great Friday” to remember the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion. The Orthodox Easter dates usually differ from the dates used by western churches because most Orthodox churches retained some version of the Julian calendar, which is older than the Gregorian calendar, commonly used today.

Is Orthodox Good Friday a Public Holiday?

This is not a mandatory holiday for most of the private sector. However, many businesses and companies may give their employees a day off based on collective labor agreements, company policies, or due to custom. Government agencies are closed on this day, while stores and shops are closed by law until 13:00 (1:00 pm).

The crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ is remembered on Good Friday.
