Octave of Easter
The term Octave of Easter may refer either to the eight-day period (Octave) from Easter Sunday until the Sunday following Easter, inclusive; or it may refer only to that Sunday after Easter, the Octave Day of Easter (often known as Low Sunday, particularly in the Anglican Communion). That Sunday is also known historically as ''St. Thomas Sunday'' (especially among Eastern Christians), ''Quasimodo Sunday'' and ''Quasimodogeniti''. Since 1970 Low Sunday has been officially known as the Second Sunday of Easter (referring to the Easter season) in the Roman Catholic Church. On 30 April 2000, it was also designated as Divine Mercy Sunday by Pope John Paul II.

The ''Octave'' of a feast refers to an eight-day festal period commencing with that feast. Presently in the Roman Catholic Church, Easter is one of only two solemnities that carries an octave, the second being Christmas Day, although until recently many feasts had octaves.
The name ''Quasimodo'' came from the Latin text of the traditional Introit for this day, which begins "''Quasi modo geniti infantes...''" from 1 Peter ,〔The full line is ''Quasi modo geniti infantes, rationabile, sine dolo lac concupiscite'', from ''Catholic Encyclopedia'' listing for (Low Sunday ). Retrieved 7 June 2013.〕 roughly translated as "As newborn babes, desire the rational milk without guile...". Literally, ''quasi modo'' means "as if in () manner".
