I saw a picture on BBC of Easter Celebrations around the world and one was of the Armenians celebrating Easter. Do they celebrate it today?? I thought all Orthodox were on the Old Calendar Easter.:scratch:

Why is that? Why would they change? I thought all Orthodox were together on Easter. I'm not trying to judge them or anything, it just seems odd to me.
