In Western countries Easter marks the end of the forty days of Lent a period during which the Christians observe fast and penitence in preparation for the Easter which begins on Ash Monday and ends on Easter Sunday.

The week prior to Easter is of great importance in the Christian tradition. The Sunday before Easter is Palm Sunday and the last three days are Monday Thursday or Holy Thursday Good Friday and Holy Saturday.

These three days are sometimes referred to as the Easter Tridum. In some countries Easter lasts for two days with the second called 'Easter Monday'.

Lazarus Saturday is followed by Palm Sunday Holy Week and finally Easter. Easter is immediately followed by Bright Week during which there is rto fasting.
