When will Catholics and Orthodox celebrate Easter on the same date?

Br. MichaelDavide Semeraro

I do not want to make a mistake but some years ago I heard that Catholic and Orthodox leaders were working together to unify the date of Easter. Is this agreement coming to close or has the Russia-Ukraine conflict made this agreement more difficult? And why do we have different dates? Are there different dates in the Orthodox and Catholic Church for Lent and Christmas? M.C. Catholic and Orthodox Churches continue to work to unify the dates for the celebration of Easter. I do not think that the war could slow down this process that is, however, long. We do hope that the East and the West may finally be close to agreeing upon a single day to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord for the Jubilee 2025! We can only pray that the leaders will put aside their differences and find a common ground! In this regard there are also some differences in the rites. For example as Roman Catholics we do not sing Alleluia during Lent while in Eastern Orthodox Churches they sing Alleluia, which is one of the most touching, on Good Friday. Then in Eastern Orthodox Churches there is no direct correspondence to the Western Paschal…
