The Easter Vigil,
Is the longest and most
solemn
It begins after
sundown
With The Service of
Light
When a new fire is
kindled
Symbolising the Light
of salvation
Which is used to light
The Paschal candle
Symbolising the Light
of Christ
Reminding all that
Christ is Light and
life
I’ve always loved hot cross buns
But they give me heartburn
You can eat one and
it’s gone
But like the Lord they
return
Eastertide or Paschaltide
Is a festal season
That begins on Easter
Sunday
And lasts for fifty
days
Ending on Pentecost
Sunday
Celebrated throughout
The Christian world
As a single joyful
feast
Maundy Thursday
The sixth day of Holy
week
Which remembers the
Maundy
The day when Jesus
Washed the feet of his
disciples
As well as the last
supper
On the feast of
Passover
And marks the start
Of the Easter Triduum,
That commemorates
The passion, death,
And resurrection of
Christ
In Western Christianity,
Holy Wednesday
Is the Wednesday
before Easter
The fifth day of holy
week
Often called "Spy
Wednesday",
To mark the betrayal of
Jesus
By his apostle Judas
Iscariot
And on Holy Wednesday
He first conspired
with the Sanhedrin
To betray the Lord
For thirty pieces of silver
Holy Week

Which precedes Easter

Saturday

Sunday
Maundy Thursday
And Good Friday
And ends on Holy
Saturday
Holy Monday is
The Third day of holy
week
Is notable for several
reason
We are told in The
Gospels
That amongst other
things
The cursing of the fig
tree
The questioning of
Jesus' authority
And the Cleansing of
the Temple
All took place on Holy
Monday
