Easter Joy
            Since Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday, Easter Sunday is considered to be the 8^th day. The Easter Season is 50 days long. Altogether, the 50 days are a week of weeks (7x7) with the added day being Easter Sunday. Biblically, the number 8 signifies Resurrection and regeneration (new life). It is a number that means a new beginning.
On Easter Sunday, “we rejoice. Jesus, our hope and our life, is raised from the dead!”
(Journeying In His Light, Anderson, Rev. William A.)
