1. Christian Church. Also with capital initial.

a. The church festival commemorating Christ's rise from the dead; Easter.Quot. 1838 probably reflects a practice of the early Church, as reported by a 5th-cent. Latin author, that in some churches the Resurrection was celebrated on 28 March (or possibly 27 March: the text is disputed), the day on which it was believed to have taken place, besides Easter, which was a movable feast.Now chiefly with reference to the Eastern Orthodox churches.
