EASTER

RESURRECTION CELEBRATION
"The Feast of First Fruits"



Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
1 Peter 1:3 (New International Version)

EASTERTIDE
In the Christian church year Easter is a period of time rather than just a day. Easter Day begins a seven-week season of the church year called Eastertide, which ends with Pentecost Sunday. Also known as the Great Fifty Days, Eastertide begins before dawn on Easter and lasts for six more Sundays. The seventh Sunday, a week ahead of Pentecost Sunday, is often celebrated as Ascension Day (actually the 40th day after Easter Sunday, which always falls on Thursday, but is usually observed the following Sunday). Ascension Day marks not only the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, but his exaltation from servanthood to Ruler and Lord. For more information, visit the CRI / Voice, Institute website.

THOUGHT A DAY
The fifty days between Easter (the day of Jesus's resurrection) and Pentecost (the day that the Holy Spirit was given to the Church) can be a time of learning to live the way of Easter in our everyday experience.
