The Ecclesiastical Calendar begins on September 1st. The Feast of Christ's Resurrection, Holy Pascha, is the greatest Feast of the Church and stands in a class by itself. The next in importance are the Twelve Great Feasts of the Church. Then there are countless other feasts celebrated throughout the year. These feasts can be found in the Synaxarion Page on this site. The Synaxarion is an abridged listing Feast Days and of the Saints of the Orthodox Church listed in order according to the ecclesiastical Calendar on the day that their feast is celebrated.
