Greek Easter Date 2024. Unlike most european nations, which will celebrate easter on march 31st, greece will adhere to the date for orthodox easter, which falls more than a month later this year, on may 5th. This day celebrates the resurrection of jesus from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion on orthodox good friday.
Good friday is on may 3rd; Greek easter is the single most important religious and cultural holiday in greece, surpassing christmas in its significance, atmosphere, and the sheer scale of the festivities involved.
