Eastertide begins on Easter Sunday, and Christ the Resurrected and Living Lord is emphasized, along with the themes of rebirth, new life, and victory over sin and death. It is a season of great celebration throughout Christendom, and the liturgical colour of white symbolizes purity and this celebratory mood. Christ’s ascension is celebrated 40 days after Easter on Ascension Day.
