Coptic Feasts and Fasts
Coptic Christmas falls on 7 January, and Pascha on a different date from Western Easter. Here are all feasts and fasts of the Coptic Orthodox Church for 2026 to 2099, to download individually or a whole year at once.
Why these dates differ from the Western calendar
The Coptic Church follows the Coptic calendar, descended from the calendar of ancient Egypt: thirteen months, twelve of thirty days and a short thirteenth of five or six. Years are counted from 284, the accession of Diocletian, under whom many Coptic martyrs died. Hence the name Anno Martyrum, the year of the martyrs.
The Nativity is fixed on 29 Kiahk. Because this calendar drifts against the Gregorian one, as the Julian does, that day now corresponds to 7 January. The celebration begins the evening before with the liturgy.
Pascha is determined by the Alexandrian computus on a Julian basis. It therefore usually falls on a different date from Western Easter, and occasionally the same. The Great Fast, Holy Week, Ascension and Pentecost move with it.

Where the data comes from
The data comes from the records kept by the Coptic Orthodox Metropolis of the Southern United States and is not calculated by us. As a check, every Resurrection date is verified against an independent calculation using the Alexandrian computus; if a year disagrees, this page is not generated. Three documented errors in the source have been corrected. The parish announcement remains authoritative locally.
