Why do dates differ?
Churches follow different calendars. The Roman Catholic Church uses the Gregorian calendar; Orthodox churches use either the Revised Julian calendar or the older Julian calendar, which currently runs 13 days behind; and the Coptic Church keeps its own Coptic calendar. A saint can also be honored on more than one day, for example the day of death and the day their relics were moved.
