Calendar Dates Eastertide - There are 50 days of Easter from the first Sunday, March 31 to Pentecost Sunday, May 19. It is characterized, above all, by the joy of glorified life and the victory over death, expressed most fully in the great resounding cry of the Christian: Alleluia! All faith flows from faith in the resurrection: "If Christ has not been raised, then empty is our preaching; empty, too, is your faith."
