Is Thomas Sunday only used in the Orthodox faith in reference to the first Sunday after Easter?

The Gospel According to Saint Matthew Chapter 27 Verses 52-53 the tombs opened and the bodies of many holy people rose from the dead, and these, after his resurrection, came out of the tombs, entered the holy city and appeared to a number of people.

The Catholic Church made it a requirement for Catholics to receive the Eucharist at least once per year, during the Easter season.

It is said that on Holy Thursday, the day of the Last Supper, the church bells fly to Rome to get blessed by the Pope. They only come back in the night from Saturday to Sunday with the resurrection.

Easter Monday is called "Monday of the Angel" or "Little Easter". When the women arrived at the tomb, they noticed it was empty but an angel annouced Christ's resurrection.

Easter Friday, or Bright Friday, is the Friday after the Christian festival of Easter.

On Holy Saturday many churches conduct special services like the Easter Vigil, marked by readings, prayers, and the symbolic lighting of candles to celebrate Jesus' resurrection.

Joanna was among the first women to discover the empty tomb. She was the wife of Chuza. He was the household manager of King Herod Antipas.

The earliest recorded observance of an Easter celebration comes from the 2nd century.

My 1964 Divine Office which was published by the Order of St Benedict, Inc of Collegeville, MN, includes an Octave of Easter. From Monday after Easter through Wednesday are called Days of Rogation and Thursday is the Ascension of our Lord, although most of my notes and my Parish Calendar show the Ascension either on May 9 or the Sunday following. The Calendar indicates an Easter Season with six Sundays. I pray to find a clarifying description.

Please disregard my previous post about the timing of the Ascension which I thought I found in my Office. I had been comparing the text with that in my Liturgy of Hours, and foolishly lost my place in the Office without realizing it. Trying to understand the two works as well as a computer website appears to transcend my mental capacity. I'll go back and reread Shin's quote for the day, increasing my prayers for assistance.

An Easter Season with six Sundays In some Western Christianity traditions, Easter Sunday is the first Sunday of Eastertide. The following Sunday (Low Sunday) is the Second Sunday of Eastertide and so on.
