EASTER SUNDAY (12th April)

Easter Sunday is a fest that not occur on fixed dates according to the Gregorian calendar. It marks the end of the 40 days of Lent. The Easter Triduum, in Latin the word means three, refers to Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday.

Following the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, Joseph was given permission to bury his body. Jesus was in the grave for three days. After the Sabbath, Mary Magdalene, Mary (the mother of Jesus), and Salome arrived at the tomb, but the stone had already been rolled away. Jesus has risen on Easter Sunday. Many people saw him that day and the day followed, just as He told them (Mark 16:6-7).

Since that time, Christians have set aside time each year to commemorate the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. This observance has been known as the Christian Passover. The celebration extends beyond the church. Commercially, Easter is a significant period. Egg races, egg hunts, egg painting and chocolate egg eating. From Pagan traditions it marked the arrival of spring.
