The eighth day (or octave) of Easter, which is now also Divine Mercy Sunday, concludes this one great Day with the giving of the Holy Spirit for the forgiveness of sins on Easter Sunday night. Seven, as in the number of days in a week, symbolizes earthly, human, natural completeness and fulfillment. The eighth day is the day which opens up to etenal perfeection, the day without end.
