JOY
EASTERTIDE
For Christians, Easter is not just one day - it's a season of 50 days, derived in its length from the fifty days between Passover and Pentecost (which means fiftieth) in Judaism. Easter season begins on the eve of Easter and ends with Pentecost, the day we celebrate the gift of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the Church (see Acts 2).
Today, this extended season gives us time to rejoice and experience what we mean when we say Christ is risen and that we, as the church, are the body of the Risen Lord. It’s a season for focusing on the core doctrines and mysteries of the faith and for preparing for the ministries the Spirit has empowered us to undertake in Jesus’ name.
