Easter is not just one day, but a whole season when we celebrate the resurrected Jesus.
The season begins on Easter Sunday and lasts for 50 days, including Sundays.
The color is white, symbolizing resurrection and joy.
The day of Pentecost falls on the 50th day of the season, (Pentecost means 50th) , when we honor the Holy Spirit and the church's mission in the world. This day, Pentecost, uses the fiery color of red. (from the Lutheran Handbook, Augsburg Fortress, Minneapolis c. 2005)
