 | | This is succinctly summarized by the Orthodox Easter hymn "Christ is Risen": | | | Pascha (Easter) is the primary act that fulfils the purpose of Christ's ministry on earth—to defeat death by dying and to purify and exalt humanity by voluntarily assuming and overcoming human frailty. | | | There is no indication of the observance of the Easter festival in the (The collection of books of the Gospels, Acts of the Apostles, the Pauline and other Epistles, and Revelation; composed soon after Christ's death; the second half of the Christian Bible) New Testament, or in the writings of the apostolic fathers. |

| | Easter |
| | Easter should be the most openly joyful time of celebration of the church year. | | | Easter or Resurrection Sunday is the day Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus the Christ from the dead. | | | These special days and seasons are a means to shape sacred time, a structure in which to define what it means to be Christian and to call God’s people to reverent and faithful response to God. |

| | Coincidence of the feasts of Easter and Passover was thus avoided. | | | An important historical result of the difference in reckoning the date of Easter was that the Christian churches in the East, which were closer to the birthplace of the new religion and in which old traditions were strong, observed Easter according to the date of the Passover festival. | | | The Easter season concludes 10 days later with the feast of Pentecost, when the apostles reported that the Holy Spirit had entered into them. |

| | Easter hymns are songs of praise to God for the miracle of Christ's resurrection, as Christians sing alleluia (a Hebrew phrase meaning praise God) in almost every hymn during Easter. | | | Easter symbols include the peacock; the sun, in honor of Jesus, the light of the world; and flowers and butterflies, symbols of the risen Lord. | | | The Season of Easter is a glorious celebration of Jesus' resurrection from the dead on Easter morning following his crucifixion and death on Good Friday. |

| | Easter (season) - definition of Easter (season) in Encyclopedia |
| | The Easter Season begins on Easter Sunday and continues until Pentecost in the Christian liturgical calendar, thus spanning a total of seven weeks. | | | When the Anglican churches implemented their own calendar reform effective in 1976, they adopted the same shortened definition of the Easter season as the Roman Catholic Church had promulgated six years earlier, but continue to label the Sundays between Easter and Pentecost "Sundays After Easter" rather than "Sundays of Easter." | | | In addition, in the United States only, the feast of Corpus Christi was moved three days forward, to the Sunday after Trinity Sunday, when it had heretofore been celebrated on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday. |

| | Catholic Culture : Liturgical Year : Season of Easter (Activity) |
| | From apostolic times the feasts of Easter and Pentecost were primary, and the paschal mystery was the first celebration to have both a time before the feast of preparation and a time afterwards for the extension and completing the celebration. | | | The Easter candle, lighted for the first time from the new fire of the Easter Vigil, is placed in a prominent place in the sanctuary between Easter and Pentecost and should be lighted for all liturgical services in this season and should be incensed whenever incense is used in the fifty days. | | | The feast of Pentecost now concludes the Easter season and the week between Ascension and Pentecost should be a time of preparation and expectation for the coming of the Spirit. |
