Happy Orthodox Easter to those of you who are observing today. Many of you may have celebrated Easter last weekend (or perhaps were busy with Passover or Ramadan) and might be wondering why people celebrate the holiday a week late, so let's discuss what Orthodox Easter is all about. It's the holiest and most egg-citing holiday in the Orthodox Christian calendar, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Although it's pretty similar to Western Easter, it's kinda like the relative or friend that always arrives fashionably late to the party, in this case, due to the difference in the Julian calendar instead of just being disorganized or terrible with time management.
Just like Western Easter, Orthodox Easter is filled with rituals, delicious food, and vibrant colors. It's a time when people come together with loved ones to celebrate, paint eggs with amazing precision, and of course, engage in other egg-related activities, like egg-cracking competitions. May the strongest egg win! Just because Orthodox Easter is a little behind doesn't mean we should leave it out of our holiday meme collections. So we're here with a mix of Easter memes, both Orthodox and otherwise. We hope they bring you some laughs, whether you're celebrating today or not!
