The Catholic and the Armenian Church celebrate on Sunday, April 21, the largest Christian holiday of the Resurrection of Christ.

The discrepancy with the Orthodox Christians, for which Easter is a week later, is due to the different calendar. Orthodox follow the Julian calendar, and the Catholics – the Gregorian.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is noted. According to evangelical stories, it happened on the third day after his death.

In the Vatican Pope Francis will pronounce a Traditionally Easter Message "Towards the City and the World" at 12.00 am from St. Peter's Cathedral.
