Easter is not one day but fifty, from Easter Sunday to Pentecost. It is the longest festal season in the calendar, and the Alleluia returns to everything.
Why white?
White is worn at Christmas and Easter, and on feasts of the Lord, Mary, and saints who were not martyred. It is the color of joy and of light.
