Most everyone knows something about Lent- 40 days, giving something up, comes before Eater, etc. But what about the Season of Easter? Join in a brief exploration of this period of time- How long is it from Easter until the next season? How are we supposed to use this time? How did the early followers of Jesus regard and shape the Observance of these days for centuries to come? 

MAY 1 - 22: "Recent Archeological Digs that support Biblical history", Bishop James Stanton
