A Word from Cardinal Dolan: Paschal and Alleluia

| 04/25/2023

By: Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan

Cardinal Dolan explains the meaning behind two words we use a lot — pascal and alleluia. Paschal is another word for Easter. It comes from Latin and also means passover.

We sometimes call this the paschal season or paschal tide. Alleluia is an act of praise to thank God for His blessings.

Never is alleluia more appropriate than during this Easter season. 

The Acts of the Apostles gives us a portrait of two amazing biblical characters: Steven the Protomartyr and Saul who became Paul.
