I looked it up out of curiosity.

The last time that Annunciation and Pascha coincided (for those following the Julian calendar) was 1991. The next time it will coincide will be 2075 -- I don't think I'll be around for that one!

The last time that Great Friday and Annunciation coincided was in 1961, and the next time will be 2045. I'll be an old man, but that one will be worth a trip to an Old Calendar parish -- assuming that we aren't all on the same calendar by then, which we won't be, given the speed at which the Orthodox Church changes.

Great and Holy Saturday coincides with Annunciation in 2018.

Sorry, I read the table wrong.

Great and Holy Saturday will coincide with Annunciation on the Julian Calendar in 2007, 2018, and 2029.

It will coincide with Great and Holy Friday in 2034, 2045, and 2056.

I may have to make a trip out of town for Holy Week in 2007!
