The Proclamation of Easter for the Year 2025

4/1/2025

The Announcement of the Date of Easter and of other principal feasts on Epiphany dates back to a time when calendars were not readily available to people. Since the date of Easter changes every year in accordance with the lunar calendar and many celebrations of the liturgical year also depend on this date, it was necessary to make known its date of in advance.
Although we now have calendars and personal diaries, many of which include religious feasts and lunar phases, this Epiphany proclamation still has value. It is a reminder of the centrality of Easter, of the celebration of the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of the Lord, for believers.
On the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord, the proclamation takes place after the Post-Communion prayer. Where possible, it should be sung by a deacon, or cantor. In their absence, the celebrant may sing or proclaim it according to this formula:

 
The Proclamation of Easter and the Moveable Feasts for the Year 2025 
 
Know, dear brothers and sisters,
that, as we have rejoiced at the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ,
so by leave of God’s mercy we announce to you also
the joy of his Resurrection, who is our Saviour.

On the fifth day of March will fall Ash Wednesday,
and the beginning of the fast of the most sacred Lenten season.

On the twentieth day of April you will celebrate with joy Easter Day,
the Paschal feast of our Lord Jesus Christ.

On the twenty-ninth day of May
will be the Ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ.


On the eighth day of June, the feast of Pentecost.

On the twenty-second day of June,
the feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.


On the thirtieth day of November,
​the First Sunday of the Advent of our Lord Jesus Christ,

to whom is honour and glory for ever and ever.
Amen.
