About Greek Public Holidays & the Orthodox Easter Calculation
Greece observes 13 public holidays each year — a mix of national civic dates and Orthodox Christian religious observances. Fixed holidays like Independence Day (March 25) and Ohi Day (October 28) fall on the same date every year. The Orthodox holidays — including Clean Monday, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Easter Monday, and Whit Monday — shift annually because they are derived from the date of Orthodox Easter.
Orthodox Easter is calculated using the Julian calendar, unlike the Gregorian-based western Easter. The standard algorithm (Meeus Julian method) computes the Julian date and then adds 13 days to convert to the Gregorian calendar used in modern Greece. This means Orthodox Easter can range from early April to mid-May and often differs by weeks from the Catholic/Protestant Easter. In 2025, Greek Easter falls on April 20; in 2026, on April 12.
For developers building HR software, payroll tools, or employee scheduling systems, this variability makes a reliable, maintained API essential. Hard-coding dates breaks every year; scraping government websites is fragile and legally grey. The greektaxtools.gr holidays API provides a stable, versioned JSON endpoint with pre-calculated dates through 2026, updated each January. iCal support lets end-users subscribe directly in Google Calendar or Apple Calendar with a single URL — no manual entry required.
