  • Bright Week or Renewal Week is the name used by the Eastern Orthodox Church and Eastern Catholic Churches of the Byzantine Rite for the period of seven days beginning on Pascha (Easter) and continuing up to (but not including) the following Sunday, which is known as Thomas Sunday. Latin rite and other Christian groups such as Anglicans refer to this period as Easter Week, not to be confused with the Octave of Easter, which includes the following Sunday. The entire week following Pascha is to be set aside by Orthodox Christians for the celebration of the Resurrection. According to the 66th canon of the Council in Trullo: "from the holy day of the Resurrection of Christ our God until New Sunday (i.e. Thomas Sunday) for a whole week the faithful in the holy churches should continually be repeating psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, rejoicing and celebrating Christ, and attending to the reading of the Divine Scriptures and delighting in the Holy Mysteries. For in this way shall we be exalted with Christ; raised up together with Him. For this reason on the aforesaid days that by no means there be any horse races or any other public spectacle". In Imperial Russia, the taverns used to be closed during Bright Week, and no alcoholic beverages were sold.
  • Све́тлая седми́ца, также Светлая неделя, Пасхальная неделя, Святая неделя — седмица, следующая за Пасхой. Во все дни седмицы положено богослужение, подобное богослужению Недели Пасхи (первого дня Пасхи). Заканчивается Неделей Антипасхи (Вторая Неделя по Пасхе). Принято в течение всей седмицы держать царские врата храмов отверстыми — до светлой субботы, когда по литургии бывает раздробление и раздаяние артоса. 66-е правило Шестого Вселенского Собора постановляет: Файл:Aquote1. png От святаго дня воскресения Христа Бога нашего до недели новыя [то есть до Фоминой Недели], во всю седмицу верные должны во святых церквах непрестанно упражняться во псалмах и пениях и песнях духовных, радуясь и торжествуя во Христе, и чтению Божественных писаний внимая, и святыми тайнами наслаждаясь. Ибо таким образом со Христом купно восреснем, и вознесемся. Того ради отнюдь в реченные дни да не бывает конское ристание, или иное народное зрелище. Файл:Aquote2. png Седмица — сплошная: поста в среду и пятницу нет, и даже готовящимся к Причащению нельзя самовольно налагать на себя пост. Во всю Светлую седмицу после богослужения проводятся крестные ходы, на которых верующие поют праздничные песнопения и священник всех кропит святой водой. Во время крестного хода звучит праздничный колокольный звон.
