(Easter is a Christian festival and holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third
day after his crucifixion at Calvary
as described in the New Testament. Easter is the culmination of the Passion of Christ, preceded by Lent, a forty-day period
of fasting,
prayer, and penance.
The last week of Lent is called Holy Week, and it contains the days of the Easter Tritium,
including Maundy Thursday, commemorating the Last Supper
and its preceding foot washing, as well as Good Friday,
commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus. Easter is
followed by a fifty-day period called Eastertide
or the Easter Season, ending with Pentecost Sunday.)
