The Celebration of Bright Week

Go Orthodoxy - Bright Week is the first week following the Resurrection of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, which is celebrated each year at Pascha. It ends the following Sunday, the Sunday of Saint Thomas. For Orthodox Christians Bright Week begins a period of celebration that continues for 50 days until Pentecost. This celebration includes the practice of the faithful joyously greeting each other with the salutation of "Christ is risen,", followed by the response "truly He is risen" or "indeed He is risen," as the whole of creation is renewed by Our Lord and Savior. The services of Bright Week are done with the Royal Doors fully open. This unblocked view of the altar symbolizes the open door of Christ's empty tomb as well as the rent veil of the Jewish Temple, which was torn apart at the moment Christ dies. There is no fasting at all during Bright week. The entire week is considered to be one continuous day and the main reason why fasting is completely prohibited to all Orthodox during the week.
