How come Easter isn’t showing up on my calander but all the other holidays are?

Apple has separated out holiday types. Religious holidays are no longer included in the default calendar. Instead, you can install a calendar that is specific to your religious needs. Here's a calendar that is specifically for Christian holidays: https://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/religious/christian-holidays-41/

And here's one that is a general US calendar that includes Christian holidays (assuming that you don't mean Eastern Rite holidays, which are not the same as Roman-based holidays): http://icalshare.com/calendars/2

If you click on either link from Safari on your iPhone there is a "Subscribe" button that will install the selected calendar.

It appears that religious holidays have been removed from the iOS calendar. You can subscribe to another calendar that supports the religious holidays of your faith. There have been numerous threads about this, if you wish to search and read them. There are links in most of them, however here is one that I've copied to share with others. I have no financial or other interest in this link, and have not tested it. https://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/religious/christian-holidays-41/

Do you have US Holidays checked?

Do you have the Holiday calendar selected in your Calendar app? Go to the Calendar app, tap Calendars in the bottom center of the screen and make sure that you have a tick next to the Holiday calendar.

There are 2 US Holidays calendars from Apple. The built in one does not have Easter, but the downloadable one (with the same name) does. http://icalshare.com/calendars/2 If anything, I'm not sure why the downloadable one does, unless it is an older one that you might have installed in a previous year.

Just download google calendar from the App Store. Much easier to setup and it will allow you to include religious holiday based on your religious preferences ***

I believe this to be a change to the newer iOS. It is not on either my iPad Mini 4, or my iPhone X. Both were updated today to iOS 11.2.6, however they did not have it on iOS 11.2.5 either. My wife has an iPhone 5 or 5s, can't remember exactly, but I'll check hers tonight when she gets home from work to see if it is on hers.

You are not going to see Apple's response here. Your iPhone will only show you 1 year of information at a time. Again, I know that it had been there in the past, but the latest versions of iOS have removed all religious holidays. As provided in earlier posts, you can subscribe to a religious calendar if desired.

I just mentioned my wife's phone, because she is always behind in updates!

It appears that it has returned. Happened a day ago. I'm using my iOS calendar and iCloud. I have the US Holiday's calendar checked. Easter appeared just as quickly as it disappeared. May have been pushed out over iCloud, don't know. I know it wasn't there when iOS 11.2.6 was originally released and I installed it. It may require you to turn your phone off and back on again.

It is in my US Holidays calendar.

What iOS are you running? Because my iPhone 4 has Easter, but my iOS devices running iOS 11.2.6 do not.

I also have this problem on my iPhone 7+ with iOS 11.2.1. This problem does not occur on my iPod Touch V6 with iOS 11.2.1. I am not sure when the problem started as it seems to only occur for Easter. I haven’t checked all holidays though.

Easter is showing up on my iPad Air 2 but not on my iPhone. I have the exact same calendars checked in “Calendars”, including “Holidays in United States “. I do not have “US Holidays” checked. How does one go about getting an answer to this? Paula

Hi Chris,

I am on the iPhone X 11.2.2 and able to confirm that it’s not (Easter) isn’t present on the calander also. Kinda sketchy that it’s been removed from every year in the app. I would like to see what apples response is for this.

Shows up on mine.
