Eastertide is a 50-day period beginning on Easter Sunday and ending on Pentecost Sunday. After the resurrection, Jesus spent forty days on earth before he ascended, and then there were ten more days after that before the Day of Pentecost. During this period we continue to celebrate Christ's resurrection and that we are new creations. Jesus continues to gaze upon us with eyes of mercy and we should continue to pursue Christ through our commitment, dedication, and prayerful heart
