Great Feasts of the Orthodox Church

The feast of the Resurrection of Jesus, called Pascha (Easter), is the greatest of the feasts of the Eastern Orthodox Church (and of the Eastern Catholic Churches of the Byzantine Rite), and as such is called the "feast of feasts". In addition, there are other days of great importance in the life of the Church: the Twelve Great Feasts (Greek: Δωδεκάορτον).
