On Easter Sunday, we remember and celebrate the triumphal Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead! Easter Sunday then kicks off a period of 50 days traditionally known as Eastertide — ending with Pentecost Sunday.

Here are the readings for the principal service on Easter Day:

• Acts 10:34-43

• or Exodus 14:10-14,21-31

• Psalm 118:14-17,22-24

• Colossians 3:1-4

  • or Acts 10:34-43

• John 20:1-10(11-18)

  • or Matthew 28:1-10

  • or Mark 16:1-8

  • or Luke 24:1-12 (the Gospel reading depends on which year it is)

Here are the Collects for Easter Day:

Almighty God, who through your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ overcame death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the day of the Lord’s resurrection, may be raised from the death of sin by your life-giving Spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

O God, who for our redemption gave your only begotten Son to die upon the cross, and by his glorious resurrection delivered us from the power of death and the devil: Grant us the grace to die daily to sin, that we may live with him in the joy of his resurrection, through the same, Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit now and forever. Amen.
