Question About Russian Holidays

[fishtiger]

Last year I went to Russia from April 23 to May 9th.
May Day was celebrated on May 1st and 2nd.
My question is when is Easter celebrated?
Are there any other holidays observed during this period.

Thanks

This is a holiday weblink someone posted a long time ago.  Unfortunately it doesn't give the date for Easter this year.

The Othodox Easter, unlike Othodox Christmas -- but like the Protestant Easter, varies from year to year due to the fact that it follows a different calender than ours.

It is predictible, but (like our easter) I find it is easier to wait until the year's calender is published, and find out when Easter is...
