The Easter Season
The Easter season is the church’s fifty-day celebration of the resurrection of Christ. It is the time of greatest joy as we gather in the good news of God’s victory over death and the power to renew our lives in Christ. It is the counter-balance to the forty-day season of Lent that prepared us for such great celebration. In the tradition of the whole church, it was also the time for the newly baptized to deepen their connection to Christ through sharing in the resurrection meal of communion, and to experience the mystery of new life in Christ as a gift of grace. A Paschal candle is a central symbol in the church’s worship life. The paschal candle, newly made and lit throughout the Easter season, shines forth with the light of Christ’s resurrection, reminding us that we have new life in resurrection love.
