Since that Day the Orthodox Church has kept unbroken the Holy Tradition of the Church given by Jesus Christ and His Disciples.

Holy Week and Easter in The Orthodox Church and the Traditions that come with The Holy Days
Easter in the Orthodox Ecclesiology and church tradition is the most important feast of all the feasts.

Other Holy fathers of the Church stresses the importance of the Holy Week and Easter at their homilies. The reason is that through the Crucifixion and the tomb of Christ Resurrection was promised to all his children and the kingdom of death was destroyed with His descent to the Hades. With His Holy Resurrection the New Life started and the gates of paradise were opened.
