The triduum paschale represents the highlight of the whole liturgical year. Whereas the contents of the first day (Good Friday) and the third, concluding day (Easter Sunday) are on the whole wellknown, Holy Saturday remains more on the margin of attention. That is why this study offers a view of the theological content (the descensus ad inferos) and of the liturgical celebration (Liturgia horarum) of the second day of the Easter triduum.

This article presents the results of an ethnological study on the current forms of the Christian Easter holiday celebration to recall the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is based on an analysis of data from an exploratory online questionnaire survey conducted in Slovakia in spring 2020. The date of the holiday overlapped with the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The research therefore aimed to explore whether and how preventative measures, physical distance, and social isolation influenced the holiday practice which, according to the author’s previous findings, includes not only religious rituals but also profane elements that can be empirically documented at the family, community, and commercial levels. The 2020 pandemic closed the Easter holiday behind the doors of houses and flats, and the analysis thus focuses only the practices related to the family or private space. The research mapped the holiday preparations, common customs practiced at home as well as those that could not be practiced there, custom innovations, and the emergence of new celebration practices. The data analysis is based on the concept of eventisation (Gebhardt, 2000), according to which secularised and individualised ways of spending holiday time influence the pluralisation of contents and the forms of “traditional” holidays. Thus, the survey also aimed to find out how people who do not celebrate it spent the Easter holiday. In addition to particular findings about people’s adaptation to the pandemic, the article also offers a wider ethnological perspective of the transformation of holidays as part of the cultural dimension of social processes in the late modernity period.

Aim of this paper is to show how the Orthodox Church calculates date of Easter. On the basis of historical evidence it indicates the assumptions of the Paschalia system from the second century to the modern days. Paper explains differences between Julian, Gregorian and revised Julian calendars and shows how to calculate the date of Easter in present days. The text also discusses the problems of imperfection and errors, and calendars on their basis shows suggestions for their correction. The result of this paper is the development of Paschal table for the Gregorian and Julian calendars for the years 2012-2105, together with an indication of the mathematical formula built on the basis of existing Meuus and Gauus algorithms.
