Overview

The Season of Easter is a joyful and celebratory season of the Church Year!

​

Extending for fifty days from the Resurrection of Our Lord through the Day of Pentecost, this season places focus upon the triumph of life over death.

​

Our SOLA lectionary readings from Easter recalls our Lord’s various appearances to His disciples recorded throughout the Gospels, and it invites the Church into a thematic focus of rejoicing, witness, and new life. We remind ourselves of the present reality of the living Lord who declares, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live” (John 11:25). ​

 

The Church reflects deeply upon Christ’s victory and reign so that the power of His resurrection may be more fully known. Easter is therefore both a fulfillment and a beginning: a fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets, and a beginning of the New Creation in Christ. It is a season of abiding in the Word, the Sacraments, and the joy of the Spirit, trusting that through His rising the Lord prepares His people to live eternally in the light of His glory.
