Eastertide
The season of 50 days from Easter Sunday to Whitsunday (Pentecost). Each Sunday of the season is treated as a Sunday of Easter, and, after the Sunday of the Resurrection, they are named 2nd Sunday of Easter, 3rd Sunday of Easter, and so on up to the 7th Sunday of Easter.
Eastertide is important in the Christian calendar as it celebrates the risen Christ with his teachings and appearances, as well as the beginnings of the Christian church.
