The Paschal Mystery is celebrated and made present in the liturgy of the Church, and its saving effects are communicated through the sacraments, especially the Eucharist, which renews the paschal sacrifice of Christ as the sacrifice offered by the Church
"Paschal" means "of or relating to the Passover," and is most often applied to the sacrifice of the "paschal lamb." (God's instructions to the children of Israel regarding the first Passover are found in Exodus 12). The paschal lamb was a "type" (foreshadowing) of the sacrifice of Christ.John 1:29 - The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" [NKJV]
The paschal (Easter) mystery is the death and resurrection of Jesus. The Paschal candle is a large, white candle used liturgically in the Western Rites of Christianity (Roman Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, etc.). A new Paschal candle is blessed and lit every year at Easter, and is used throughout the Paschal season and then throughout the year on special occasions, such as baptisms and funerals.
The word "Paschal" comes from the word Pesach which, in Hebrew, means Passover.
An example of the Pascal Mystery is when in my friends life, he had reached his "death" very quickly and he had very little time of suffering that he did not realize what had happened. During his freshman year, he got pressured into using drugs with friends and it was just a social thing. But as he continued, he started skipping out of the social events and just smoking at home and letting himself fall into a depression. His family knew about his smoking in the house, they just didn't know how to talk to him about it in a constructive way, so they would just get into fights and his parents later got divorced because the dad thought he had no other outlet. His mom, without the stress of the dad and his opposing views, started to get closer with her son. He would start to open up to her and she helped him get rid of the root of the problem and he slowly weened himself of his drugs with the support if his mom. With the problem gone, he started showing back up for fun parties and asking girls on dates and being a simple teenager again.
No, the paschal candle is not typically used in holy orders. It is primarily used during the Easter season and in other liturgical celebrations within the Catholic Church. Holy orders refer to the sacrament through which men are ordained as deacons, priests, or bishops.
Well, darling, when we're all wrapped up in Jesus' Paschal Mystery, we call that "mystical union." It's like being BFFs with the big man upstairs, sharing in his suffering, death, and resurrection. So, buckle up and enjoy the wild ride of spiritual connection, my friend.
The Paschal Mystery is that Jesus was crucified and died and is risen and ascended into Heaven. That is the second Baptismal promise.

the suffering, death, resurrection and ascension of Jesus is called
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.
The Paschal Mystery symbolizes Baptism because as Christ died and was risen up in glorified form, we are too. When we are Baptized we are cleansed of all sin (personal and Original) and therefore are a 'clean and spotless' until we sin again.
Eucharist/Holy Communion
The Paschal Mystery, is the death, resurrection and ascension of our Lord into glory. The Paschal Mystery is the central mystery of the Christian Faith, celebrated at the Easter Triduum with a sublime and unique solemnity. The Term 'paschal' is derived from the word 'pasch', not simply because the events from the Last Super through the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ happened to coincide with Passover. The event celebrated by Passover -- the deliverance of Israel from enslavement in Egypt -- is itself the anticipation of the full deliverance won by Christ for the whole human race.
