EASTER

EASTER

Easter Day is the annual feast of the resurrection, the pascha or Christian Passover, and the eighth day of cosmic creation. Faith in Jesus’ resurrection on the third day following his crucifixion (a Sunday) is at the heart of Christian belief. In the west, Easter occurs on the first Sunday after the full moon on or after the vernal equinox. Easter always falls between March 22nd and April 25th. Following Jewish custom, the feast begins at sunset on Easter Eve with the Great Vigil of Easter. Eastertide is the 50 days after Easter and before Pentecost.
