Listen Later

EASTER - it's all about Sunday, right? You get up early - go to the Sunrise service - have a light breakfast - then go to the Easter Celebration service where you sing Up From the Grave He Arose - and then gather with friends and family to enjoy the Easter ham. That's it, right? Not so fast! In today's episode, we discover that for early Christians - and many others throughout the world - Easter was/is a 3-month observance - with loads of special days - rituals - liturgies - and holy observances. It's as if Easter was a hard-wired, baked-in essential component of their Christian life and practice! Today, we look at all the parts and pieces of a complete Easter celebration - from Shrovetide to Eastertide - with cool days like Clean Monday, Spy Wednesday, and the Harrowing of Hell sprinkled in. Join us as we find out what Easter is really all about!
