Easter
Easter is the high point of the Christian year. After Jesus’ resurrection, he spent forty days on earth with his disciples. After his ascension, the disciples waited another ten days for the coming of the Spirit on Pentecost. Eastertide recreates this period, beginning on Easter Sunday and concluding, fifty days later, on Pentecost. While every Sunday in the calendar year is a ‘mini-Easter’, marking these seven weeks as a special celebration helps bring the startling, shocking newness of Jesus’ victory into sweet relief. Alleluia, Christ is risen!
“Do not abandon yourselves to despair. We are the Easter people and hallelujah is our song.” Karol Wojtyła

Rooted in the past, hopeful for the future
The Anglican Church is a global, vibrant and Christ-centered expression of the Christian faith with a rich history that still shapes our beliefs, lives and worship today. We hold much in common with other Christian traditions and are committed to humbly following Christ and the mission of His Church.
