ReadSpeaker reads events:Easter celebration of reading aloud
Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Easter Sunday marks the beginning of the Easter season (Eastertide), which lasts for fifty days until Pentecost.
Lent and Holy Week
The Easter season begins with Ash Wednesday, followed by a 40-day period of fasting. This commemorates the 40 years the Israelites spent in the desert and the 40 days Jesus spent fasting and praying in the desert. Lent, also known as the Easter penitential season, ends on the 40th day, Holy Saturday.
