Easter in Ireland
Good Friday is a religious holiday observed primarily by Christians commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. The holiday is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum on the Friday proceeding Easter Sunday, and may coincide with the Jewish observance of Passover.
Traditions and beliefs are changing and for many the tradition of attending mass and refraining from eating meat is not longer practiced. Extended mass services can be enough to put people off. When something is forbidden we desire it more. Alcohol and Good Friday were always considered a sin but we seem to be a changing nation.
Easter Saturday or Bright Saturday, on the Christian calendar is the Saturday following the festival of Easter. Easter Saturday is the day preceding the Octave Day of Easter. What will you be doing this Easter Saturday? Will you be observing tradition and attending mass, spending it with family or attending local events in your area?
Easter Sunday is a Christian festival celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his crucifixion at Calvary as described in the New Testament. Easter is the culmination of the Passion of Christ, preceded by Lent, a forty-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance. After a lengthy 40 day period on the run up to Easter what will you be doing to mark the resurrection of Christ?
