Celebrating The Entire Easter Season With Catholic Kids- All 50 Days!

All the Easter crafts, snacks, games, books, etc. couldn’t possibly all happen on actual Easter Sunday- it’s too much!

But that’s ok because the Church, in her infinite wisdom, granted an entire season of Easter that lasts for 50 days, all the way through Pentecost!

The secular (cultural) world tends to celebrate Easter during Lent up until Easter Sunday, and then packs up all the bunnies the next day. However, we as Catholics know that the day after Easter is Easter Monday, and only the second day in a 50 day Liturgical season.

Top 7 forgotten Easter traditions in the Catholic Church

Easter is the cornerstone of the Christian faith, a season of profound joy and renewal that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

While many Catholics today associate Easter with a single Sunday mass or a festive family gathering, the traditions of the past reveal a much richer, more immersive experience.

These forgotten practices steeped in symbolism and communal devotion stretched far beyond a single day, inviting believers to live the mystery of the resurrection in their daily lives.

4 Easy Ways to Celebrate the 50-Day Easter Season

After we pass through the sorrows and sacrifices of Lent and Holy Week, Easter breaks forth as a great time of joy and celebration. It is the “Solemnity of solemnities” celebrated by the Church.

It is the day our hope was made complete—the day that Jesus conquered sin and death on our behalf in order to reconcile us to God. We can hope for and obtain all things through the victory of Jesus Christ.

"The Resurrection and ascension are not simply there as a happy ending to a story of suffering and death…They are essential parts of the sacrifice of our Redemption, not a sequel to it."

-Frank Sheed, To Know Christ Jesus

For Catholics, Easter isn’t just a single day of celebration—it’s an entire season where we celebrate our new life in Christ.
