Orthodox Easter Day in Lebanon

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.

Orthodox Easter Day is not a public holiday. It falls on Sunday, May 2, 2021 and most businesses follow regular Sunday opening hours in Lebanon.
