Eastertide begins with Easter Sunday and ends with the Day of Pentecost, fifty days after Easter. As with Christmas, Easter is both a day and a season. During Eastertide, we focus on faith, hope, and love. We place our faith in Jesus because of the great victory of God when Jesus overcame sin and death. We put our hope in Jesus for the resurrection of the body. And love is the mark of our transformed hearts. During Eastertide, we are heartened in the rising.
