New dates for Orthodox holidays.

Due to the fact that the OCU plans to switch not to the Gregorian calendar, but to the New Julian calendar, some important holidays will not be affected by the changes.

We are talking about the celebration of Easter and the Trinity, which will continue to take place according to the old style..

But if the changes are approved, from September 1, the following holidays receive new dates:.

Intercession - October 1 (instead of October 14);

St. Nicholas Day - December 6 (instead of December 19);

Christmas - December 25, (instead of January 7);

Epiphany - January 6 (instead of January 19).

In February of this year, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church announced the transition to a new calendar from September 1. In March, they published an updated church calendar of holidays for the period from September to December of this year..
