  • Eastertide, or the Easter Season, or Paschal Time, is the period of fifty days from Easter Sunday to Pentecost Sunday. It is celebrated as a single joyful feast, indeed as the "great Lord's Day". Each Sunday of the season is treated as a Sunday of Easter, and, after the Sunday of the Resurrection, they are named Second Sunday of Easter, Third Sunday of Easter, etc. up to the Seventh Sunday of Easter, while the whole fifty-day period concludes with Pentecost Sunday. Easter Sunday and Pentecost correspond to pre-existing Jewish feasts: The first day of Pesach (פסח) and the holiday of Shavu'ot (שבועות). In the Jewish tradition, the 49 days between these holidays are knows as Counting of the Omer (ספירת העומר)‎. The first eight days constitute the Octave of Easter and are celebrated as solemnities of the Lord. Since 2000 the Second Sunday of Easter is also called Divine Mercy Sunday. The name "Low Sunday" for this Sunday, once common in English, is now rarely used. The solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord is celebrated on the fortieth day of Eastertide (a Thursday), except in countries where it is not a Holy Day of Obligation. In such countries it is celebrated on the following Sunday (the forty-third day of Eastertide). The days from that feast until the Saturday before Pentecost (inclusive) are days of preparation for the Holy Spirit the Paraclete. Before the 1969 revision of the calendar, the Sundays were called First Sunday after Easter, Second Sunday after Easter, etc. The Sunday preceding the feast of the Ascension of the Lord was sometimes, though not officially, called Rogation Sunday, and when the Ascension had an octave, the following Sunday was called Sunday within the Octave of the Ascension, but when this octave was abolished in 1955, it was called Sunday after the Ascension. Pentecost was followed by an octave, which some reckoned as part of Eastertide. When the Anglican churches implemented their own calendar reform in 1976, they adopted the same shortened definition of the Easter season as the Roman Catholic Church had promulgated six years earlier. In the Church of England, the Easter season begins with the Easter Vigil and ends after Evening Prayer on the Day of Pentecost. Some Anglican provinces continue to label the Sundays between Easter and the Ascension "Sundays After Easter" rather than "Sundays of Easter"; others, such as the Church of England and ECUSA, use the term "Sundays of Easter".
  • Il Tempo pasquale è quel periodo dell'anno liturgico della Chiesa cattolica e di altre chiese che va dalla domenica di Pasqua al giorno di Pentecoste. Ha una durata di cinquanta giorni, durante i quali la liturgia aiuta il credente a penetrare più profondamente nel mistero della resurrezione di Gesù. La durata è dovuta al fatto che gli Atti degli Apostoli situano la Pentecoste al cinquantesimo giorno dopo la Risurrezione. Dopo i primi quaranta giorni si celebra la solennità dell'Ascensione del Signore. Il carattere del tempo pasquale è festivo: si canta nuovamente l'Alleluia, dopo che per tutto il tempo di Quaresima è stato sostituito dall'acclamazione "Lode a Te o Cristo, Re di eterna gloria". Le letture della Messa propongono in questo tempo gli Atti degli Apostoli nella prima lettura. I vangeli propongono anzitutto i vari racconti pasquali, e poi i discorsi di Gesù a carattere pasquale riportati nel Vangelo secondo Giovanni. L'Angelus viene sostituito dal Regina Coeli.
  • De paascyclus of paaskring is de jaarlijks terugkerende cyclus van aan Pasen gerelateerde kerkelijke feestdagen. Deze cyclus start op Septuagesima, 70 dagen voor Pasen en eindigt 50 dagen erna, op Pinksteren. De belangrijkste dagen in deze kring zijn: Voorvasten Septuagesima (70 dagen voor Pasen) Sexagesima (60 dagen voor Pasen) Quinquagesima (50 dagen of 7 weken voor Pasen) Vastenavond (de dinsdag voor aswoensdag) Vasten Aswoensdag (46 dagen voor Pasen) Passiezondag (tot 1969 de één-na-laatste zondag voor Pasen) Goede Week Palmzondag Schorselwoensdag (woensdag voor Pasen) Witte Donderdag (donderdag voor Pasen) (vanaf de avondmis Paastriduum) Goede Vrijdag (vrijdag voor Pasen) Stille Zaterdag (daags voor Pasen) Paastijd Pasen Paasmaandag (tweede paasdag, daags na Pasen) Beloken Pasen (zondag na Pasen) Jubilate (derde zondag na Pasen) Kruisdagen (maandag, dinsdag en woensdag voor Hemelvaart) Hemelvaartsdag (40e paasdag, dus 39 dagen na Pasen, 10 dagen voor Pinksteren, steeds op een donderdag) Pinksteren (7 weken na Pasen) Quatertemperdagen (woensdag na Pinksteren, tot 1969 ook de vrijdag en zaterdag) Trinitatis of het hoogfeest van de Heilige Drieëenheid (zondag na Pinksteren) Sacramentsdag of Corpus Christi (donderdag na het feest van de Heilige Drieëenheid, tweede donderdag na Pinksteren. Wordt in België en Nederland verplaatst naar de eerstvolgende zondag, de tweede zondag na Pinksteren) het Hoogfeest van het Heilig Hart (derde vrijdag na Pinksteren). Pasen valt elk jaar op een andere datum, zie Paas- en Pinksterdatum. Het gezegde: 'Als Pasen en Pinksteren op één dag vallen' betekent zoveel als: nooit!
