Yes! Easter happens to fall on the same day for Roman Catholic and Orthodox believers when Clarel gets back to Jerusalem. As explained in 4.33:
And when the day, The Easter, falls in calendar The same to Latin and the array Of all schismatics from afar— Armenians, Greeks from many a shore— Syrians, Copts—profusely pour The hymns: 'tis like the choric gush Of torrents Alpine when they rush To swell the anthem of the spring. That year was now. https://poets.org/poem/clarel-easter
Looks like 1876 was such a year; also 1862, 1865, 1868 and 1871. http://5ko.free.fr/en/easter.php?y=19
Clarel begins at Epiphany or the orthodox Xmas. When the poem ends at Easter, is that also an orthodox Easter? John Gretchko

To swell the anthem of the spring.
