Divine Mercy Sunday is a Roman Catholic feast celebrated on the Second Sunday of Easter (the Sunday after Easter Sunday), emphasizing God’s infinite mercy, forgiveness, and love, particularly through the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus. Officially established by Pope John Paul II in 2000, it marks the end of the Easter Octave and encourages trust in God, with special promises of grace for receiving Communion and confession.
