The season of Easter continues for 50 days to Pentecost Sunday. In the early Church, the initial purpose of the 50 day Easter season was to continue the faith formation of those who had been baptised on Easter Sunday.

Today, this extended season gives us time to rejoice and experience what it means when we say Christ is risen. This week the Eastern Orthodox churches are celebrating Holy Week and then Easter. As St. John Chrysostom stated in his famous Easter homily, read in Eastern Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches on Easter, Christ has destroyed death, and now is the “feast of faith.”
