[[Image:Resurrection.jpg|thumb|right|100px|Feast of Feasts]]The feast of the [[Resurrection]] of [[Jesus Christ]], called [[Pascha]] (Easter), is the greatest of the feasts of the [[Orthodox Church]]. It is not counted among the twelve major feasts of the Church since it is considered by itself as the "Feast of Feasts." It is celebrated on the first [[Sunday]] after the Paschal Full Moon (see ''[[Paschalion]]'').
