What is Easter?
The word “Easter” comes from Old English, meaning simply the “East.” The sun which rises in the East, bringing light, warmth, and hope, is a symbol for the Christian of the rising Christ, who is the true Light of the world. The Paschal Candle used during the Easter Vigil is a central symbol of this divine light, which is Christ. It is kept near the ambo throughout Easter Time and lit for all liturgical celebrations.

Pascua
La Vigilia Pascual es “la Madre de todas las vigilias”. El domingo de Pascua, por tanto, es el mayor de todos los domingos, y el Tiempo Pascual es el más importante de todos los tiempos litúrgicos. Pascua es la celebración de la resurrección del Señor de entre los muertos, y culmina en la Ascensión al padre y en envío del Espíritu Santo sobre la Iglesia.
