We have gathered top books on Easter for you to read. Easter, also known as Pascha (rising Sunday), is a Christian celebration and cultural holiday that honors Jesus’ rising from the dead. According to the New Testament, this happened on the third day of his burial after the Romans crucified him at Calvary about 30 AD. It is the conclusion of Jesus’ Passion, which was preceded by 40 days of fasting, prayer, and penance known as Lent (or Great Lent).
Observing Easter The final week of Lent, before Easter, is commonly referred to by Christians as Holy Week. In Western Christianity, it starts on Palm Sunday, which commemorates Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, includes Spy Wednesday, which marks Jesus’ betrayal, and includes the days of the Easter Triduum, which include Maundy Thursday, which commemorates the Last Supper and Maundy, and Good Friday, which commemorates Jesus’ crucifixion and death. The same occasions are marked with days that begin with “Holy” or “Holy and Great” in Eastern Christianity, while Easter itself may be referred to as Great and Holy Pascha.
Eastertide, also known as the Easter or Paschal season, starts on Easter Sunday and lasts for seven weeks until Pentecost Sunday, the 50th day. However, in Eastern Christianity, the feast is celebrated on the 39th day, which is the day before the Feast of the Ascension.
