'''Resurrection Sunday''' (also known as '''Easter''') is the [[Christian]] holiday marking the [[resurrection of Jesus Christ]]. It would be counted as two days after His crucifixion on [[Good Friday]] by modern day counting, but three days by Biblical inclusive date counting whereby parts of days are counted as days. It has been considered the most important festival of the liturgical year. Pascha is the celebration of Easter in the Eastern Orthodox church.
