How is ash wed connected to Easter Sunday?
Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, the 46-day period (40 days not counting Sundays) of self-sacrifice that precedes Easter Sunday. Although I am unsure of the connection between Ash Wednesday and Lent and Easter, I know that at least in the Roman Catholic denomination priests draw the sign of the cross on the foreheads of Catholics on Ash Wednesday using the ashes from the burning of the palm fronds left over from the previous year's Palm Sunday as they remind them that they came from dirt and will return to dirt, which sounds like a good reason to celebrate the Resurrection, which is what Easter is all about.
Is it Easter today or is it easster next week?
Easter is a moveable feast, meaning its date changes every year. It is typically observed on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox. Therefore, Easter can fall anywhere between March 22 and April 25. To determine if it is Easter today or next week, you would need to consult a calendar or use a formula to calculate the date based on the lunar cycle and equinox.

Was Christ resurrected on a Sunday?
1st Answer:
As Jesus was crucified on a Friday , he then arose on Sunday. That is what we call Easter Sunday.
2nd Answer:
In Euope Easter is on Monday and this makes sense. If you count 3 days from Friday night you get Monday not Sunday.
3rd Answer:
Perhaps the 2nd Answer should be left without comment and just left, though I changed it from bold to regular type.
Nevertheless, the Biblical accounts do not say Jesus was resurrected three days after the Crucifixion. Depending on which book of the Bible, you look in, they say either that he was found to have been resurrected on the first day of the week, or that he was found to have been resurrected on the day after the Sabbath. Both mean the same thing.
The Jewish Sabbath was a day of rest, in memory of the day God rested after six days of working on the creation, so it was done on the last day, not the first, of the week. The day after the Sabbath was also the first day of the week. The Roman day corresponding with the Sabbath was Saturday, and so the first was of the week was Sunday.
The date of Easter was calculated differently by different branches of the Church, possibly from the very beginning. For this reason, the methods of calculation was recorded, even when they fell out of use. The result is that we can know from history that Easter was always on Sunday, all over the world.
Also the term "third day" is not the same as "three days after." The day of the Crucifixion was Friday, so Friday was the first day. Jesus had to be hurriedly buried of Friday because a dead body was not allowed to remain unburied on the Sabbath. The Sabbath was the second day. The third day was Sunday.
What are the years past and present that Easter fell on April 24?

Good Friday in 1956 was the 30th March and will not fall again on this date until 2018. I was born on a Good Friday and I'm still waiting for my birthday to fall on that day...........roll on 2018
Why do people have good Friday Easter Sunday and monday but no Easter Saturday?
For Christians there is an Easter Saturday although it is not as dramatic as Sunday or Friday. Friday is when Jesus died on the cross. Saturday is when Jesus was placed in the tomb and Sunday is when Jesus resurrected and went back to Heaven.
