The Date of Easter 2010 and 2011

Christians throughout the world should be aware that the date of Easter as calculated by both Eastern and Western traditions in Christianity will fall on the same day in both 2010 and 2011.

Members of the Anglican Communion, especially those with close relationships with the Orthodox families of Churches, both Eastern and Oriental, may wish to take the opportunity to mark this in some way, perhaps by sending greetings to their Orthodox neighbours or some meaningful joint gesture.

With good wishes
The Revd Canon Dr Kenneth Kearon
Secretary General of the Anglican Communion
