The Liturgical Year: Easter
Easter is the high point of the Christian year, as it celebrates the central mystery of Christ, his triumph over death and the cross and the resurrection. The Easter season lasts fifty days from Easter Sunday until Pentecost Sunday. The Church celebrates the hope to which all are called. Resurrection teaches that in death, the faithful will be brought to new life in God. The sharing of the resurrection creates a Christian responsibility to be a people of joy, hope and new life. Included in the Easter season are two major feasts, the Ascension of Jesus and Pentecost. The color for Easter is white.
