For Jews around the world, the holiday of Pessah (Passover, Pascua) this year starts on March 27th and ends on April 4th. The Holiday of Easter will be celebrated by Catholics and Protestants on April 4th this year but the Greek Orthodox Easter will not be celebrated until May 2nd. Why the difference? Greek Orthodox Easter is tied into Passover and is always celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon in Spring after Passover. For many, we will still be separated from friends and family due to COVID. Pessah was one of the most popular holidays among the Jews of Ioannina. We hope you can celebrate and enjoy the holiday this year. !מועדים לשמחה
