Octave of Easter

A couple days ago I heard a priest give a summary of what the word 'Octave' really means. He said that it really is Easter every day within the Octave. I have been paying close attention to the readings this week and it is so true, everyday has been Easter all over again for me. I'm glad that I heard that explaination, it gives me a new insight to all the post Easter Sunday readings of this past week. We celebrate this event of Jesus rising from the dead once in all of human time. Never before or never again will this event take place. It is powerful for all man kind to grasp, be they believers or non believers.
