CHRISTENDOM CELEBRATES EASTER<br />
Easter (also called the Pasch or Pascha) is a Christian festival and<br />
holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day<br />
after his crucifixion at Calvary as described in the New Testament.<br />
Easter is the culmination of the Passion of Christ, preceded<br />
by Lent, a forty-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance. The last<br />
week of Lent is called Holy Week, and it contains the days of the<br />
Easter Triduum, including Maundy Thursday (also known as Holy<br />
Thursday), commemorating the Last Supper and its preceding foot<br />
washing, as well as Good Friday, commemorating the crucifixion<br />
and death of Jesus. Easter is followed by a fifty-day period called<br />
Eastertide or the Easter Season, ending with Pentecost Sunday.<br />
Easter is a moveable feast, meaning it is not fixed in relation<br />
to the civil calendar. The First Council of Nicaea (325) established the date of Easter as the first<br />
Sunday after the full moon (the Paschal Full Moon) following the March equinox. Ecclesiastically,<br />
the equinox is reckoned to be on 21 March (even though the equinox occurs, astronomically<br />
speaking, on 20 March in most years), and the "Full Moon" is not necessarily the astronomically<br />
correct date. The date of Easter therefore varies between 22 March and 25 April. Eastern<br />
Christianity bases its calculations on the Julian calendar whose 21 March corresponds, during<br />
the 21st century, to 3 April in the Gregorian calendar, in which the celebration of Easter<br />
therefore varies between 4 April and 8 May.<br />
Easter is linked to the Jewish Passover by much of its symbolism, as well as by its<br />
position in the calendar. In many languages, the words for "Easter" and "Passover" are<br />
etymologically related or homonymous. Easter customs vary across the Christian world, but<br />
attending sunrise services, exclaiming the Paschal greeting, clipping the church and decorating<br />
Easter eggs, a symbol of the empty tomb, are common motifs.<br />
Additional customs include egg hunting, the Easter<br />
Bunny, and Easter parades, which are observed by both<br />
Christians and some non-Christians. (From Wikipedia)<br />
Happy Easter to the SPU <strong>Manila</strong> community!
