OFFICIAL CALENDAR
All the information can be found in the Official Orthodox Christian Calendar provided by the Romanian Orthodox Church (BOR).
EASY TO UNDERSTAND
The major holidays (imperial feasts, celebrations of the Virgin Mary and important saints) are marked with a red cross surrounded by a circle or parentheses to highlight the importance of the service.
The celebrations of saints with vigils and polyeleos are marked either with a red cross or with a black cross with a single parenthesis.
Celebrations of saints without vigils are indicated in the calendar with a simple cross.
The lesser-known saints' celebrations are divided into two categories: with or without a Great Doxology at Matins - they are marked in the calendar with a black cross.
FASTS AND EXEMPTIONS
We have devoted special attention to fasting periods. Fasting is the means by which the Holy Church disciplines the lives of its faithful. On days with fasting exemptions, a graphic symbol accompanied by the message "Exemption for fish," "Exemption for cheese, milk, and eggs," or "Exemption for oil and wine" will appear.
We look forward to your feedback.

FAQ
What is the Calendar Ortodox?

The Calendar Ortodox is primarily used in countries with significant Eastern Orthodox Christian populations, such as Russia, Greece, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Ukraine, and others.
How is the Calendar Ortodox different from the Gregorian calendar?
The main difference is that the Calendar Ortodox still uses the Julian calendar for calculating the date of Easter and other religious observances, while the Gregorian calendar introduced in 1582 is used by most of the world for civil purposes.
Why does the Calendar Ortodox have different dates for Easter than Western Christianity?
The difference in Easter dates between the Eastern Orthodox Church and Western Christianity is due to the use of different calendars and different methods for calculating the date of Easter. While Western Christianity uses the Gregorian calendar and a modified version of the ancient Jewish calendar, Eastern Orthodoxy relies on the Julian calendar and an older method known as the Paschal or Orthodox Computus.

Do all Orthodox Churches follow the same version of the Calendar Ortodox?
