Important information for Easter!

Easter (Latin Passover, also known as the Passover Festival, from Hebrew pessach) is the annual commemoration in Christianity of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who, according to the New Testament (NT), overcame death as the Son of God.

Since, according to the New Testament, Jesus' death and resurrection took place during Passover week, the date of this movable Jewish festival also determines the date of Easter. It is determined by a lunisolar calendar and always falls on the Sunday after the first full moon of spring in the Western Church, i.e. at the earliest on March 22 and at the latest on April 25 in the Gregorian calendar. The dates of the movable feast days of the Easter cycle are also based on this.

In the early Church, Easter was celebrated as a combination of the commemoration of suffering and the celebration of resurrection during Easter Vigil („Vollpascha“). From the 4th century onwards, the most important festival in the church year was developed into a three-day celebration (Triduum Sacrum or Triduum paschale) with a historical focus. Since then, in most liturgies, the services have extended from the celebration of the Last Supper on Maundy Thursday evening—the eve of Good Friday—through Holy Saturday, the day of the Lord's rest in the tomb, to the dawn of the new week on Easter Sunday.

Easter Sunday (liturgically Dominica Resurrectionis, „Sunday of the Resurrection“ (of the Lord)) marks the beginning of the Easter season („Eastertide“), which lasts for fifty days up to and including Pentecost. In the Middle Ages, the original Triduum developed into a separate Easter Triduum, which distinguished the first three days of the Easter octave from the rest of the week of celebration. Later, this period of work-free days was shortened until only Easter Monday remained as a public holiday.
