Descriere: Easter, annual festival commemorating the resurrection of Jesus
Christ, and the principal feast of the Christian year. It is celebrated on
a Sunday on varying dates between March 22 and April 25 and is therefore
called a movable feast. The dates of several other ecclesiastical
festivals, extending over a period between Septuagesima Sunday (the ninth
Sunday before Easter) and the first Sunday of Advent, are fixed in relation
to the date of Easter.
Connected with the observance of Easter are the 40-day penitential
season of Lent, beginning on Ash Wednesday and concluding at midnight on
Holy Saturday, the day before Easter Sunday; Holy Week, commencing on Palm
Sunday, including Good Friday, the day of the crucifixion, and terminating
with Holy Saturday; and the Octave of Easter, extending from Easter Sunday
through the following Sunday.
