The Fifth Sunday of Easter (or Fifth Sunday of Eastertide) is the fifth Sunday of the Easter season, being four weeks after the Christian celebration of Easter Sunday.[1] In Western Christianity, this day is also known as the Fourth Sunday after Easter[2] or Cantate Sunday.[3] Eastern Christianity also calls this day the "Fifth Sunday," but typically using an Eastern synonym for Easter; for example, Fifth Sunday of Holy Pascha (as in the Byzantine Rite[4]) or Fifth Sunday of the Resurrection (as in the West Syriac[5] and East Syriac Rites[6]). In the Byzantine Rite, this day is also known as the Sunday of the Samaritan Woman.[4][7]
