The Octave of Easter

At the beginning of the fifty days of Easter is an eight-day celebration called the Octave of Easter. During these days, let the light of Christ shine forth as your family sings “alleluias” at the dinner table or around the prayer table as you celebrate the octave. Today’s Readings: Acts 2:14, 22–32; Psalm 16:1–2, 5, 7–8, 9–10, 11; Matthew 28:8–15.
