What does mean “Octave of Easter”?

Well, the Easter of the Lord’s Resurrection is so important to the Church that the Church is celebrating it for the whole week. We call this as Octave of Easter. “Octave” means a period of 8 days that is, counting from Easter Sunday up to the next Sunday.
Jerald Jellison said, “Each of us tells a lie at least 50 times a day.” He explained that a common reason for “little white lies,” we’re told, is to protect someone else’s feelings.
Today’s gospel speaks to us about the report of the resurrection of Jesus by two different groups: the women group and group of the guards. Let us look at the second part of the gospel passage and this speaks to us of deceit, deception and lying. The guards are bribed by the chief priests to tell a lie about the resurrection of Jesus. And yet, they still see themselves as righteous men.
While the first part of the gospel passage is the opposite of this lies and deception. Here we see simple women whose hearts are overjoyed at the news that their beloved Lord is alive again.
During this week let us see the different ways that the Risen Christ appears to us. We should seek Christ in our daily life. Perhaps we can find Him in all those persons we meet who are in some kind of need.
