The 3rd Sunday of Easter, observed in the Christian liturgical calendar, celebrates the continued resurrection of Jesus Christ. The readings typically focus on the post-resurrection appearances of Christ, where He reassures and strengthens His disciples. In the Gospel, Jesus often reveals Himself in familiar ways, such as through the breaking of bread or sharing a meal, reinforcing the themes of new life, hope, and divine presence. The liturgical color is white, symbolizing joy and purity, and the season invites reflection on how the resurrection transforms believers’ lives and calls them to witness to the risen Christ.
