The '''Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord''', commonly known as Easter or Pascha, is the greatest and oldest [[solemnity]] of the [[Roman Rite]] and the entire [[liturgical year]]. It celebrates the Resurrection of [[Jesus Christ]] from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion, the central mystery of the Christian faith. According to the [[General Roman Calendar]], Easter Sunday is the culmination of the [[Easter Triduum]] and the beginning of the fifty-day [[Easter]] season that ends with [[Pentecost]]. It is a [[Holy Day of Obligation]] in every country where such obligations exist. | The '''Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord''', commonly known as Easter or Pascha, is the greatest and oldest [[solemnity]] of the [[Roman Rite]] and the entire [[liturgical year]].
