Easter is the most important of all liturgical seasons, as we celebrate the center of our Christian faith, which is the death and resurrection of Jesus. The term “Easter” means “passage,” for Christ, dying on the cross, passed from death to life to enable us to pass with Him and in Him, through faith and the sacraments, to a new, definitive, and glorious existence. It is also the Passover of the Church, His Body, which is introduced into the New Life of her Lord through the Spirit that Christ gave her on the day of Pentecost.
