The Paschal cycle, in Eastern Orthodox Christianity, is the cycle of the moveable feasts built around Pascha. The cycle consists of approximately ten weeks before and seven weeks after Pascha. The ten weeks before Pascha are known as the period of the Triodion. This period includes the three weeks preceding Great Lent , the forty days of Lent, and Holy Week. The 50 days following Pascha are called the Pentecostarion.
The Sunday of each week has a special commemoration, named for the Gospel reading assigned to that day. Certain other weekdays have special commemorations of their own. The entire cycle revolves around Pascha. The weeks before Pascha end on Sunday. This is because everything in the Lenten period is anticipatory of Pascha. Starting on Pascha, the weeks again begin on Sunday.
