Orthodox Christians will observe Holy Week from April 5-11, and celebrate
Pascha (Easter) on April 12, and may substitute the readings from March 29-April
4 in place of the readings for April 5-11 and substitute the readings from April
5-11 in place of the readings for April 12-18. These substitutions will enable the
Passion and Resurrection readings to coincide with the Orthodox dates.

Orthodox Christians will observe

Ascension Day on May 21 and
Pentecost on May 31.
