Ah, I see.

Of course, if you really want to get into it, Easter starts on Ash Wednesday, which begins the season of lenten preparation. Then come's the 40-day fast (44 counting Sundays), which leads up through Holy Week. The start of Holy Week is Palm Sunday, which marks the Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem for Passover, then the week begins with the withdrawal to Bethesda (this may or may not have been the time when Jesus resurrected Lazarus), then the return on Maundy Thursday and the initiation of the Communion Meal on the first night of Passover, the arrest and crucifixion the following day, Saturday in the tomb, the Resurrection on Sunday/Monday (depending on which calendar you are following), another fourty day period of celebration, and finally, Ascention, the day when Jesus gave the Great Commission and entered Heaven.

Easter is a very technical holiday!

Have the best
