EASTERTIME is a 50 day celebration that flows from the Triduum (the Great Three Days). Fifty days are a “week of weeks,” seven times seven, with a day added so Eastertime has EIGHT SUNDAYS–a mystical sign of eternity! Throughout these FIFTY DAYS the PASCHAL CANDLE burns brightly in the church. The candle is a symbol of the risen body of Christ and the fire of the Holy Spirit. During the rest of the year the Great Paschal Candle is kept near the font of Baptism. It is always lit during baptisms. The newly baptized light their own candles from the paschal candle. During funerals the candle is lit and placed near the casket or cremated remains of the body. The EASTER LIGHT OF CHRIST SHINES ON THE DEAD, announcing their resurrection!
