The Resurrection of Christ is the heart and soul of our Roman Catholic religion. Easter is the day we celebrate the fact that Jesus rose from the dead. Christ showed the world that He is the savior.
Easter is the greatest of all the feasts in the Christian year. It is a day of rejoicing and celebrating. Today is the most important day of the year. Heaven's gates are now open to all of us who want to be with God.
The Sanctuary colors for Easter Sunday and Ascension Day are white and gold, the colors of sacred days throughout the church year. For the Easter season, white symbolizes the hope of the resurrection, as well as the purity and newness that comes from victory over sin and death. The gold (or yellow) symbolizes the light of the world brought by the risen Christ that enlightens the world, as well as the exaltation of Jesus as Lord and King.
