Eastertide Eastertide (also called the Easter Season as well as Easter Time) or Paschaltide (also called the Paschal Season as well as Paschal Time) is a festal season in the liturgical year of Christianity that focuses on celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. It begins on Easter Sunday, which initiates Easter Week in Western Christianity, and Bright Week in Eastern Christianity.[3] There are several Eastertide customs across the Christian world, including sunrise services, exclaiming the Paschal greeting, clipping the church,[4] and decorating Easter eggs, a symbol of the empty tomb.[1][5][6] The Easter lily, a symbol of the resurrection,[2][7] traditionally decorates the chancel area of churches throughout Eastertide.[8] Other Eastertide customs include egg hunting, eating special Easter foods and watching Easter parades.[9][10]
