Do we have Orthodox Old Calendarists around the forum? I guess I don't count, but that's okay. The Russians, Serbs, the Jerusalem Patriarchate and Mt Athos are Old Calendarists—about 85% of all Orthodox in the world. Now, there may be a reason why they are not on the forum.

Do we have Orthodox Old Calendarists around the forum? Yep! Me! :)
I never understood how Pascha could be celebrated before Passover since the Last Supper was a Passover seder? Think about it!
I am Russian Orthodox (ROCOR, which has been in Canonical Communion with the Moscow Patriarchate sine 17 May, 2007) and don't mind having a different date for Easter though, as it makes getting the days off easier! Selfish, yes...but convenient as I refuse to EVER miss going to church from Holy Thursday through Bright Monday.
IMO, if there were to be a common date, it ought to be calculated the way we do it....after the Passover...
