Eastertide: Easter Sunday

Updated: Apr 24, 2023

Easter Sunday is the most important day of the year for Christians, as it celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Easter lasts for 40 days and is a season of joy, hope, and renewal as we celebrate the triumph of life over death.

Christian churches around the world celebrate Easter with special liturgies, music, and decorations. Many churches hold a Vigil Mass on the evening before Easter Sunday, which is marked by the lighting of the Paschal candle, a symbol of Christ's resurrection. The Easter Sunday Mass is typically a joyous celebration, with music, flowers, and decorations filling the church.

One of the most important elements of Easter Sunday is the Eucharist, which is also known as Communion. We believe that during the Eucharist, the bread and wine are transformed into the body and blood of Jesus Christ. This is a central part of our worship and a reminder of the sacrifice that Jesus made for humanity.



Easter Sunday is also a time for us to reflect on the meaning of the resurrection and its significance in their own lives. The resurrection of Jesus Christ represents the triumph of life over death and the promise of eternal life for believers. This promise gives us hope and inspires them to live a life of faith, service, and love.


In many traditions, Easter Sunday is a time for gathering together with loved ones, sharing meals, and enjoying each other's company. It is a time for celebrating the blessings of life and the hope of new beginnings.


Easter Sunday is also a time for giving thanks and showing gratitude for the gifts that God has given us. We are encouraged to practice acts of charity and to reach out to those in need, as a way of sharing the love and blessings of God with others.
