Easter season

Spring Christian observance

Easter season is the period of the Christian liturgical calendar celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

In Western Christianity, it spans fifty days from Easter Sunday through Pentecost.

The term also loosely describes the weeks surrounding Easter when seasonal decorations, candy, and celebrations occur: The stores are already stocking Easter season merchandise.
