Easter is the greatest feast in the Church's liturgical year because it celebrates..
the Easter candle is lit at every celebration of the Eucharist during the fifty days of the Easter season from Easter Sunday until Pentecost Sunday.
The five grains of incense on the Easter candle represent the both hands nailed, the stab wound in the side, the nail through the feet and the crown of thorns.
The light reminds people of the Risen Christ who is the light of the world
The alpha and omega symbols are the first and last letters of the greek alphabet. They remind people that the Risen Jesus is the Beginning and the End of all time and that all praise belongs to him forever.
