So happy to see another fellow Cuban converting to Orthodoxy☺️🙏🏻 after a long journey through Christianity, my husband and I have been Orthodox for a few years now also! Our parish is located in Longwood, FL! I pray God continues to lead you and your husband,may He bless your journey to the Ancient Church! ☦️☺️ -Leidy
LOVE your commentary Father!!!! Nothing about separating, but about uniting. I am a Roman Catholic and I revere the Orthodox Church as a one true Church with Catholics. In reality what separates us are just political nuances, but in reality we are United in a supernatural way that we cannot yet see with our human eyes. For now, I will celebrate the Catholic Pascha and later, I will go to an Orthodox or Coptic Church to celebrate the most important date in our salvation!! God bless you!! Christos Anesti!!!
Stop twisting things. Catholics left The Church. They changed the creed along with other things. Little can make a huge difference. I will write 2 sentences, just a little different, tell me does changing 1 word change the meaning? I'm going to Chicago again. I'm never going to Chicago again.
4:33 Why is it a "positive" thing to permanently separate from the Jewish Passover? If you're going to celebrate Christ as Passover "around" Passover (eg, not at Christmas, or Thanksgiving), wouldn't you want to do it at the right time? Or is there a view that the Jews have the wrong timing?
I think I'll follow Polycarps footsteps that he learned from John himself, that all of the churches of the east in his day kept the Passover on the same day of the Jews. We ought to obey God not man.
@nikosantikythera2422 "following Polycarps footsteps". I know the attention span of people are on a decline but goodness, try to focus and pay attention at least.
Why is it postive to disconnect (at Nicea) from Passover? Yeshua, before He became known as Iesous/Jesus by the Gentiles, did not disregard Passover, but made it symbolic of His death.
My question exactly! I am an orthodox convert from a Messianic background, which will always be my foundation. Christ died for our sins on passover because he was the fulfillment of the foreshadowing, which was the passover lamb, which delivered the Isrealites from death, just as Christ came to deliver us all once and for all. They are utterly, instinctually linked.. this is like discarding the Old Testament, which is not simply the story of the Jewish ppl, but the story of Christ and the prophecy of his coming. These are the types of things I struggled with before and still struggle with in regards to orthodoxy. This makes no Biblical sense, you cannot seperate God and Christ from Judaism.
@@user-gv9my3jy4b Yes, thank you for sharing. I live in Northern Ireland and after working in Israel for 10 years where I met many Jewish Christians or Messianic Jews, I discovered in my own hometown in County Down a rich history of the pre-Roman Celtic Church in Ireland and Britain which together with St Patrick remembered the Lord's death on Nisan 14th, the date of Passover (today), not the Roman Easter celebrated just over a month previous by most. ☘ This ended after the Synod of Whiby in 664, after which the British Church turned Roman and the pockets of Irish missionaries retreated to remote islands, such as Lindisfarne & Iona, with the later Protestants keeping the Roman holy days without question, yet eschewing Passover. The Irish took their practice from the Quartodeciman ("14th") churches of Asia Minor which were founded by the Apostle John, with whom Polycarp is said to have kept the Passover with. It's all very interesting, but controversial for some, so I rarely bring it up now out of fear. 😧
The LIGHT come just in easter orthodox church, on the date calculated on Julian calendar. First sunday after first full moon after the spring Equinox (only after jewish Pesha, like resurection of Christ long time ago).
Thank you very much for this detailed explanation Pater. Would you be able to recommend an Orthodox video to explain this to children? Those of us with little ones often get the exact same question and the best I have come up with (before seeing this video) is that out Easter is decided based on the calendar of the Jewish people during the time when Christ was living on earth.
Idk why we abandoned the Hebrew calendar to begin with. It seems leaving the original Hebrew calendar has caused much division and confusion within the early Church. Yeshua was conceived in the blessed Virgin Mary womb during Hanukkah and born during Sukkot. He had His Passover Seder on a Tuesday and died on the Cross during the High Sabbath on Passover on a Wednesday. He spent three days and three nights in the tomb during unleavened bread and rose from the dead on Firstfruits on Saturday evening(Sunday)!. This only works when following the Hebrew Calendar and the Hebrew concept of a day and night cycle. The two Churches of RCC and EO need to recognize the edification of the Moedim that centers around and glorifies Jesus Christ as Abba intended since Genesis 1:14. The dates and times line up with the Hebrew calendar and with the Scripture.
Something is inconsistent with your interpretation, with all due respect. Vernal Equinox is a very definite date, I.e. WEDNESDAY 20th of March 2024, based on astronomy and mathematics. Then, applying the rule of the Nicean Council, there can be only one date for Easter Sunday. All the rest is interpretations. In fact, the Nicean Council was absolutely correct not to link vernal equinox with a fixed date. In a nutshell, Orthodox don’t observe based on the Nicean Council rule but putting an interpretation based on historic differences with the western churches. In fact, the interpretation involving the Gregorian and Julian calendar 12-day differences is not related to the vernal equinox, which is a very fixed and easily found day in Spring based on astronomic calculations, i.e. the day that has equal hours between day and night. And this day and can only occur once in every Spring.
No matter how they calculate it will always be wrong unless you use the astrology to find your that leads to that time the way the wise man new the time of the birth of Jesus As a Catholic Blessed Easter to all blessings Favour and Peace to All and to Russia and Ukraine
Well is 48 days the first week before the great lent the last Sunday we call it cheese fare Sunday is the last Sunday that we can consume dairy and on 27th of February is the beginning of the great lent that last 40 days from the day of start until the 40th and we are not allowed to have olive oil during the lent apart from the weekends until the great Easter which we celebrate it for 40 days .
Sadly I don't think the church will truly be reunited until our savior's return. Let's all be honest here, the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and many protestant denomination churches have to many theological differences.
Good video on the explanations. However its not just RC who celebrate Easter on a different date than the Orthodox Church. As an Anglican Protestant my denomination does too .👍
ХВ!! CA!! I become russian ortodox 2 years ago, I was catholic from family. In the messages of True Life in God to a greek orthodox woman Vassula Ryden, Chist ask the unification of the dates of Pascha and said to Vassula that the correct date is the orthodox date. What do you think about? At least interesting to think about seach manifestation.
Please don’t read or listen to Vassula Ryden , True Life In God , both churches East and west have rejected her messages they are not form Christ the Devil can put in a very high percentage of truth but then remaining is heretical ! Please dear do not be deceived. ❤️🙏🏻✝️
Bravo I read some of her books and was deceived yet they seemed so beautiful and wonderful. When you see her on interviews on u Tub and then you compare to some of the saints and monks who are so humble non-egos and not prideful please go on RUclips and see father Peter Heers and Also check out go to , All Orthodox Talks , his name is Father Kosmas from Australia he’s a priest monk there’s like 80 of them like almost 3 hours plies in length the lessons from the Saints and the information and how he teaches you are gripped , at first I was a little taken aback I expected more of a gentle but soon you will be well you won’t be able to go through the day when you’re traveling to and from work and not desiring and thirsting to listen , bless you dear sister , Christ is always in our midst 🙏🏻✝️
What I’m hearing here is that there isn’t the political will to use the more accurate calendar and get on board with the rest of the Christian world. This date difference frustrates a lot of Orthodox, because we end up missing Holy Week and Pascha, due to work or other conflicts. Why not just make the decision to fix the problem and stop being so stubborn?

I think we need to agree on a single calendar *for the Orthodox Church* , before we worry about matching our calendar to the heterodox. I find it hard to imagine there is anybody who thinks it is good and correct, or makes any sense whatsoever to celebrate the liturgical year using two different calendars! Not to mention Apostles' Fast is virtually wiped out. There is a serious problem here - and the Holy Mountain agrees since there is not a single monastery there using the new calendar.
This is pure ecumenism!!! There is only ONE CHURCH. The Catholic "church" has to repent and RETURN TO ITS MOTHER CHURCH = ORTHODOX. The Holy Fathers didn't accept any compromise and even gave their lives to protect the TRUE CHURCH. There are many issues in Catholicism, plus that the Pope thinks he is God = INFALIBLE and he will never leave his 'throne'!!!
We can unte the two dates by Greeks coming back and celebrating Christmas with their Orthodox brothers on January 7th!!!! Serbia and Russia will never follow the west or Pope and his dates !!!
It is a very sad thing that the Orthodox Church celebrates this Holy Day on a different day from the Christian west. In America, most Christians are western Christians. Many Orthodox in America have family (and also children/grandchildren) who celebrate western Easter. It really diminishes the Holy days for me. And I wonder (despite all the theological justificaton) is it faithfulness, or is it pride? Orthodox in America celebrate Christmas on December 25. I pray that one day the Orthodox will join with western Christians and have the same Holy Week.
What an absurd prayer, that ancient faith should come on over to a novel western world. Honey I was raised on a western calendar until the Holy Spirit taught me the true faith. I am GRATEFUL that I'm now restored to orthodoxy and it doesn't bother me in the slightest that ChrEaster People are taking down their Santa and Bunny decor the day after the 25th or Palm Sunday. I worship Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, Holy Magnificent God on the biblical calendar that He has set before me!!!
It's because it's the first Sunday after the full moon after the spring equinox. it's after the Jewish pascha. I can't see any sense with the Gregorian thing
"Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world". My brothers and sisters, do NOT be deceived. Of course the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus is connected to the Jewish passover. Just like how God commanded Moses to kill the lamb and use the blood as a sign for the angel of death to know to Pass Over the hebrew houses, our Lord's sacrifice is a sign in our lives of salvation.
More over, the day of pentecost also coincides. Moses brings the hebrews the law for obedience. Jesus sends his Holy Spirit for grace. Dates are most definitely important to God.

Pascha and Easter fall on the same day in 2025.
💀💀💀
But why do Orthodox fast longer than 40 days?
Well is 48 days the first week before the great lent the last Sunday we call it cheese fare Sunday is the last Sunday that we can consume dairy and on 27th of February is the beginning of the great lent that last 40 days from the day of start until the 40th and we are not allowed to have olive oil during the lent apart from the weekends until the great Easter which we celebrate it for 40 days .

Maybe bring them to repentance and submission.
