When does our Easter holiday begin?
The Easter Season begins at or near the midnight between Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday, with the celebration of the first part of the Divine Office (liturgical prayer-cycle) of Easter Sunday. This normally takes place during the celebration of the first Mass of Easter commencing near midnight on the night of Holy Saturday. In various places for various reasons, the first Mass of Easter might be held some time during the earlier evening of Holy Saturday. In the concluding part of the first Mass of Easter, the first part of Easter Divine Office is celebrated and this is (strictly speaking) when the Easter Season begins. Before certain changes in the 1950s, the Easter Vigil was celebrated in the morning hours of Holy Saturday, and the Easter Season commenced when the vigil ceremonies has been completed (that is, in the afternoon of Holy Saturday). Since the 1950s, the rule is that the Lenten fast continues until the midnight between Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday. Obviously, if people are taking part in the Easter Vigil ceremonies, they will not be eating or drinking (except for taking water or medicines in an emergency), and so the Lenten fast is observed for the entire day, and the Easter Season commences at or near the midnight.
