Although many have moved on to merry thoughts of May, it’s actually still Eastertide. It will remain so until Pentecost Sunday (aka Whit Sunday, Whitsunday or Whitsun), which isn’t until 49 days past Resurrection Sunday (or 39 days past within Eastern Christianity).
Easter is not confined to a particular day, no matter how joyous. It instead encompasses an entire season during which the joy heightens and deepens.
In the weeks before the risen Christ ascended into Heaven, numerous encounters occurred on earth. Acts 1:3 states: “After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.”
This therefore is a sacred time in which to seek confirmation of Eternal Life. For it is Jesus Himself who declared: “Seek and you will find.”
