What is Easter?
Resurrected Jesus and Mary Magdalene, by Antonio da Correggio, 1543Resurrected Jesus and Mary Magdalene, by Antonio da Correggio, 1543Easter is the oldest and most important festival of the Western Christian year, celebrating Jesus Christ’s resurrection (rising from the grave) following his crucifixion on Good Friday. Easter Sunday is the culmination of Holy Week (but not part of it), and the first day of Eastertide. Easter marks the end of the 40 days of Lent, which starts on Ash Wednesday. Easter Sunday (or simply Easter Day) is the first day of the Easter Week which ends on Easter Saturday.
Christ’s resurrection forms the basis of Christian faith as it demonstrates Jesus to be the Son of God, and symbolizes his conquest of death.

Easter Sunday marks the end of Holy Week, the end of Lent, and the last day of the Easter Triduum (starting from the evening of Maundy Thursday through Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and Easter Sunday), as well as the beginning of the Easter season of the liturgical year.
