AI Summary

medium article 3 min

Der Artikel der Deutschen Welle erklärt, warum orthodoxe Christen Ostern oft später feiern als Katholiken und Protestanten. Während 2025 ein gemeinsames Osterfest stattfand, fallen die Termine 2026 wieder auseinander: Westliche Kirchen feierten am 5. April, orthodoxe Kirchen am 12. April. Der Unterschied resultiert aus unterschiedlichen Kalendertraditionen und Regeln zur Berechnung des Osterdatums, die auf das Konzil von Nicäa im 4. Jahrhundert zurückgehen. Der Artikel beleuchtet auch das Wachstum der orthodoxen Kirche in Deutschland, das eng mit der Migration aus Osteuropa, Südosteuropa und dem Nahen Osten verbunden ist. Für viele Zugewanderte dienen die Gemeinden als religiöse, soziale und kulturelle Treffpunkte.
