📚 Paschal, adjective.
🔉 /ˈpask(ə)l/ 🇬🇧
❓ Definition (formal): Relating to Easter.
❗️ Examples:
1. For the New Year a sucking pig roasted was a delicacy worth waiting for and for Easter the paschal baby lamb or goat roasted whole on a spit is universally loved.
2. In the paschal event and the Eucharist that makes it present throughout the centuries, there is a truly enormous ‘capacity’ that embraces all of history.
3. Marriage, like all sacraments, is paschal to the core and consequently it is as much about dying as it is about new life.
