Easter is one of the holiest and most important occasions annually
celebrated by Christians. The festival has its roots in about 2,000
years ago and is primarily associated to Lord Jesus, the greatest
Christian prophet whose life and sermons form the basis for
Christianity. The Holy Bible, our main source of knowledge of the
life and actions of Lord Jesus, tells us how this great messiah was
crucified to death by those who opposed his ways and how he rose
three days after his crucifixion. This reawakening or resurrection
of Lord Jesus from the dead is believed to have taken place on
Easter Day, or Easter Sunday, two days after Good Friday. The year
of his death and resurrection is variously estimated to be at some
point between 26 AD and 36 AD.
On Easter, devout Christians celebrate this resurrection of Lord
Jesus with Mass services, prayers, solemn processions and carols as
well as get-togethers with friends and family members and joyous
feasting with delectable dishes. Having no fixed relation to the
civil calendar, Easter is known as a moveable feast. Annually,
Easter happens to fall sometime
between late March and late April (early April to early May in
Eastern Christianity), following the cycle of the moon.
The term "Easter" not only refers to Easter Sunday, but also
stands for the season of the church year called Eastertide or the
Easter Season which officially lasts for the fifty days until
Pentecost. The first week of the Easter Season is known as Easter
Week or the Octave of Easter. Easter also marks the end of Lent, a
season of prayer and penance. Having no fixed relation to the civil
calendar, Easter is often known as a moveable feast.
