What is the Paschal Mystery celebration?

Answer 1

When one talks of a paschal mystery, we most commonly think of The Paschal Mystery. This is the spiritual and/or supernatural experience of the passion, life, crucifixion death, and subsequent resurrection of Jesus Christ. The word Paschal is associated with God's message to the children of Israel about the sacrifice of the first Passover (Paschal) lamb.

A paschal mystery has come to mean, even in pagan religions, basically the process of dying and rising, death and new life. We can begin to witness this all around us and in our own lives. In simply terms we see it in the seasons as the life and energy of one dies away only to give re-birth to the next. In the spiritual sense the loss of love or friendship and then the emotional rebirth of that spiritual connection could be experiencing a paschal mystery, perhaps a doctor working a cardiac arrest that saves the patient could also be argued as witnessing this mystery.

Answer 2

The Paschal sacrifice relates to the Resurrection of Christ, and in a broader sense, Easter. Easter is , of course, a movable feast. there is no connection with Bascule - a type of movable bridge- that derives from a word meaning Hinged. still paschal- Easter and bascule- a movable bridge, they sound somewhat similar.
