Why is Orthodox Easter a different day than American Easter?

The discrepancy between Orthodox Easter and American (Western) Easter dates back to ancient calendrical systems and ecclesiastical traditions. Orthodox Easter, following the Julian calendar and ensuring it follows Passover, often occurs at a different time than Western Easter, which adheres to the Gregorian calendar. Despite these differences in timing and traditions, both observances deeply celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, showcasing the unity in diversity within the Christian faith.
