Octave of Easter 2024

Octave of Easter 

The Octave of Easter is a significant period in the Christian liturgical calendar, particularly for Catholics, that lasts for eight days, starting from Easter Sunday and ending on the following Sunday, known as Divine Mercy Sunday. It's a time of special celebration and reflection on the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the central event of the Christian faith.

During this time, each day is considered as a continuation of Easter Sunday, emphasising the importance and joy of Christ's victory over death. The octave serves as an extended period of rejoicing and contemplating the profound implications of the resurrection for believers, highlighting themes of renewal, hope, and redemption.
