Orthodox Good Friday 2025 in Greece

Millions of Orthodox Christians commemorate Good Friday, also known as “Great Friday” to remember the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion. The Orthodox Easter dates usually differ from the dates used by western churches because most Orthodox churches retained some version of the Julian calendar, which is older than the Gregorian calendar, commonly used today.

Is Orthodox Good Friday a Public Holiday?

Although it is generally considered a day off for much of the population, some shops and businesses may still remain open.

The crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ is remembered on Good Friday.
