🤍 Easter

Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It begins the Sunday after the full moon that falls on or after March 21 (no later than April 25). The season lasts 50 days, culminating at Pentecost.

Eastertide commemorates Jesus’s appearances after the resurrection, the ascension, and the gift of the Holy Spirit.

The following table lists each day’s morning and evening psalms as well as the first, second, and gospel readings.

In Year One, the second reading is traditionally meant for the morning and the gospel for evening. In Year Two, the gospel is for the morning and the second reading for evening.

When there is more than one first, second, or gospel reading, then those specified for morning or evening are marked by the 🌞 and 🌛 emoji, respectively. Alternative readings are marked by the 🔀 emoji.

On smaller screens, you can scroll both horizontally and vertically to read across rows and columns.
