I think in the Holy Land, either this year or next, a decision was reached to do Lent/Easter at the same time. As it is seen every few years, next year, I believe, all the churches will do one Lent and Easter.

About the Holy Land churches deciding to do one Lent/Easter, do you know anything about that?

I did not know this. You're absolutely right. It will take place this year.

Tale of two Easters: Holy Land Catholics, Orthodox to celebrate as one

They are doing this because the christian population has shrunk so much and employers will only recognize one Easter, not two. Read the article ... fascinating insight into just what I said in my previous post about intermarriage of Catholic and Orthodox families.
