In the <a href="/wiki/Church_of_England" title="Church of England">Church of England</a>, the Easter season begins with the <a href="/wiki/Easter_Vigil" title="Easter Vigil">Easter Vigil</a> and ends after <a href="/wiki/Evening_Prayer_(Anglican)" class="mw-redirect" title="Evening Prayer (Anglican)">Evening Prayer</a> (or <a href="/wiki/Compline" title="Compline">Night Prayer</a>) on the Day of Pentecost. Some Anglican <a href="/wiki/Ecclesiastical_province" title="Ecclesiastical province">provinces</a> continue to label the Sundays between Easter and the Ascension "Sundays After Easter" rather than "Sundays of Easter"; others, such as the <a href="/wiki/Church_of_England" title="Church of England">Church of England</a> and <a href="/wiki/Episcopal_Church_in_the_United_States_of_America" class="mw-redirect" title="Episcopal Church in the United States of America">ECUSA</a>, use the term "Sundays of Easter". Anglican provinces and dioceses which continue to use The Book of Common Prayer (1662) as their standard of doctrine and liturgy persist in having a traditional 40 day Eastertide which concludes on Ascension Day, also known as Holy Thursday. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Te_Deum" title="Te Deum">Te Deum</a> and Gloria are recited every day even in the ferial Office. On Sundays the "Asperges" is replaced by the "Vidi Aquam" which recalls the solemn baptism of Easter eve. There is no feast day from Easter until Ascension. The Armenians during this period do away even with the abstinence on Fridays. Prayers are said standing, not kneeling. Instead of the "Angelus" the "Regina Caeli" is recited. From Easter to Ascension many churches, about the tenth century, said only one Nocturn at Matins; even some particular churches in the city of Rome adopted this custom from the Teutons (Bäumer, "Gesch. des Breviers", 312). </p><p><a href="/wiki/Pope_Gregory_VII" title="Pope Gregory VII">Pope Gregory VII</a> limited this privilege to the week of Easter and of Pentecost. Some dioceses in Germany retained it far into the nineteenth century for 40 days after Easter. In every <a href="/wiki/Nocturn" class="mw-redirect" title="Nocturn">Nocturn</a> the three psalms are said under one <a href="/wiki/Antiphon" title="Antiphon">antiphon</a>. The <a href="/wiki/Alleluia" title="Alleluia">Alleluia</a> appears as an independent antiphon. An Alleluia is added to all the antiphons, responsories and versicles, except to the versicles of the preces at <a href="/wiki/Prime_(liturgy)" title="Prime (liturgy)">Prime</a> and <a href="/wiki/Compline" title="Compline">Compline</a>. Instead of the "suffragia sanctorum" in the semidouble and ferial Offices, a commemoration of the Holy Cross is used. The iambic hymns have a special Easter <a href="/wiki/Doxology" title="Doxology">doxology</a>. </p><p>The feasts of the holy Apostles and martyrs have their own commune from Easter to Pentecost. At Mass the Alleluia is added to the Introit, Offertory and Communion; in place of the Gradual two Alleluias are sung followed by two verses, each with an Alleluia; there is also a special Preface for Paschal Time. </p><p>Paschal Tide was the period during which every member of the faithful who has attained the year of discretion was bound by the positive law of the Church to receive Holy Communion (Easter duty). During the early Middle Ages from the time of the Synod of Agde (508), it was customary to receive Holy Communion at least three times a year—Christmas, Easter and Pentecost. A positive precept was issued by the <a href="/wiki/Fourth_Lateran_Council" class="mw-redirect" title="Fourth Lateran Council">Fourth Lateran Council</a> (1215) and confirmed by the <a href="/wiki/Council_of_Trent" title="Council of Trent">Council of Trent</a> (Sess. XIII, can. ix). According to these decrees the faithful of either sex, after coming to the age of discretion, must receive at least at Easter the Sacrament of the Eucharist (unless by the advice of the parish priest they abstain for a while). Otherwise during life they are to be prevented from entering the church and when dead are to be denied Christian burial. The paschal precept is to be fulfilled in one's parish church. </p><p>Although the precept of the Fourth Lateran to confess to the parish priest fell into disuse and permission was given to confess anywhere, the precept of receiving Easter Communion in the parish church was still in force where there are canonically erected parishes. </p><p>The term Paschal Tide was usually interpreted to mean the two weeks between Palm and Low Sundays (Synod of Avignon, 1337). By <a href="/wiki/St._Antonine_of_Florence" class="mw-redirect" title="St. Antonine of Florence">St. Antonine of Florence</a> it was restricted to Easter Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. By Angelo da Chiavasso it was defined as the period from <a href="/wiki/Maundy_Thursday" title="Maundy Thursday">Maundy Thursday</a> to Low Sunday. <a href="/wiki/Eugene_IV" class="mw-redirect" title="Eugene IV">Eugene IV</a>, 8 July 1440, authoritatively interpreted it to mean the two weeks between Palm and Low Sundays.<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In later centuries the time has been variously extended: at Naples from <a href="/wiki/Palm_Sunday" title="Palm Sunday">Palm Sunday</a> to Ascension; at Palermo from <a href="/wiki/Ash_Wednesday" title="Ash Wednesday">Ash Wednesday</a> to Low Sunday. In Germany, at an early date, the second Sunday after Easter terminated Paschal Tide, for which reason it was called "Predigerkirchweih", because the hard Easter labour was over, or "Buch Sunday", the obstinate sinners putting off the fulfillment of the precept to the last day. In the United States upon petition of the Fathers of the <a href="/wiki/First_Provincial_Council_of_Baltimore" class="mw-redirect" title="First Provincial Council of Baltimore">First Provincial Council of Baltimore</a> Paschal Tide was extended by <a href="/wiki/Pius_VIII" class="mw-redirect" title="Pius VIII">Pius VIII</a> to the period from the first Sunday in Lent to Trinity Sunday (II Plen. Coun. Balt., n. 257); in Canada the duration of the Paschal Tide is the same as in the United States. In England it lasts from Ash Wednesday until Low Sunday; in Ireland from Ash Wednesday until the octave of SS.
