THE EASTER SEASON
Alleluia!
Christ is Risen!

The Lord is Risen Indeed!

  Alleluia!

With these words we begin our worship on Easter Sunday, and thus enter upon the joy of the Easter Season.
The 50 Days of Easter

The feast of Easter is a season of fifty days, from Easter Eve through the Day of Pentecost. From early times the Greek word Pentecost (fiftieth day) was used also for the whole Paschal season.

The word "alleluia" (praise the Lord) is said or sung repeatedly, which contrasts sharply with the season of Lent when the alleluia is omitted.

The color of liturgical vestments and hangings is white or gold.

The Book of Common Prayer notes that it is customary for the Paschal candle to burn at all services of the Easter season.  The traditional Christian Easter greeting "Alleluia! Christ is Risen!  The Lord is risen indeed! Alleluia!" serves as the opening acclamation at the Eucharist during the Easter season. The "Alleluia, alleluia" may be added to the dismissals and their responses during the Great Fifty Days.
