Do Catholics Celebrate Easter?




  • Catholics celebrate Easter with the Easter Triduum, which includes Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil, focusing on rich liturgical expression and sacramental participation.
  • During Holy Week, Catholics observe significant events like Palm Sunday, the Chrism Mass, and the services of the Easter Triduum culminating in the joyful celebration of Easter Sunday.
  • The date of Easter is determined using a formula established at the Council of Nicaea, linking it to the first full moon after the spring equinox, keeping the connection with Passover.
  • Easter symbols in Catholicism include the Paschal Candle, Easter Eggs, and Lilies, each representing different aspects of Christ’s resurrection and new life.
