Easter Time

A:Β  Just a question of terms and capitalization because our publication follows a newspaper style and AP style. In an article you submitted, you used the term β€œEaster Time.” We have not had that term capitalized before, so we are wondering if it is like Eastertide (which we would write like this). If it is a liturgical term, it is just not covered in CNS and we can leave it. But I am just checking because normally we would probably capitalize it as “Easter time.”

Q:Β  Easter Time with those caps is a designation in the Roman Missal. It matches the style of Ordinary Time. In the past we referred to it as the Easter season (with or without a capital s), but the Vatican wanted it changed to Easter Time. Same for Christmas Time. But Advent and Lent are known as Advent and Lent. The word β€œseason” does not appear in the missal, I presume because it seems to refer to the four seasons of the calendar, and Time designates better the liturgical view.
