Easter Sunday represents the beginning of a long season. There is first an Octave celebrated: eight days, each very much like Easter Sunday itself.
Once the Octave ends, it is still “Eastertide” or the Second Week of Easter.
Pentecost marks the 50th day, (inclusive), and the end of the Easter season, but sets off a rather remarkable chain of new holy days.
So I will be around, wishing you a Happy Easter, even during June
