If you follow the Julian calendar today is the feast of the Nativity of St John the Baptist. I was wondering for Eastern Catholics of either calendar - is it a “day of obligation”? Especially what about Russian Greek Catholics? Thank you!
 
I meant to post this in the Eastern Catholic board
… Sorry!

No. It is a great feast with Great Vespers on the evening before. Same for the Byzantine Catholic Church, but on the other June 24.
