On varying dates between March 22 and April 25 it is always celebrated on a Sunday and is therefore called a movable feast. Several other ecclesiastical festivals, extending over a period between Septuagesima Sunday (the ninth Sunday before Easter Sunday) and the first Sunday of Advent, are fixed in relation to the date of Easter. The 40-day penitential season of Lent is connected with the observance of Easter. It begins on Ash Wednesday and concludes at midnight on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter Sunday. Holy Week, starts on Palm Sunday, includes Good Friday, the day of the crucifixion, and terminates with Holy Saturday. The Octave of Easter extends from Easter Sunday through the following Sunday. In early Christian times, during the Octave of Easter, the newly baptized wore white garments which signifies joy, light and purity. The Jewish festival of Passover is related to the Christian Easter. Passover, or Pesach another name for Easter. Being brought up in the Hebrew tradition, the early Christians, many of whom were of Jewish origin and regarded Easter as a new feature of the Passover festival. This became a celebration of the advent of the Messiah as foretold by the prophets. More recently Easter Sunday is celebrated with the giving of cards. As well as religious symbols of Christ and the resurrection the designs on the cards also portrayed the elements of spring. The concept of the season and renewed life was illustrated by sprig flowers, especially daffodils. Easter Sunday for the year 2010 is on the 4th April. This 2010 Easter date applies to the western calendar (Catholic and Protestant Churches), as well as the The Eastern Orthodox church. This is an unusual This event is very unusual since both branches of Christianity have different ways for calculating the correct date for Easter. There are only a few years each century when the Easter dates match like this so Easter 2010 is seen as extra special. The Easter date moves every year because, in the year 325AD, the Roman Emperor Constantine called the early Christian leaders together at Nicea to reach agreement regarding many issues of doctrine including the dates of important Christian events such as Easter. They agreed that Easter would fall on the first Sunday after the full moon following the vernal equinox; (as opposed to Christmas day which they fixed as 25th December).  If you require any more help just e-mail enquiry@celtic-1.co.uk and let us know exactly what you want.   PLEASE NOTE HOLIDAY SCHEDULE: At present we have no holidays scheduled.
