The Easter Rising (Irish: Éirí Amach na Cásca), also known as the Easter Rebellion, was an armed insurrection in Ireland during Easter Week, 1916. The Rising was mounted by Irish republicans to end British rule in Ireland and establish an independent Irish Republic while the United Kingdom was heavily engaged in World War I. It was the most significant uprising in Ireland since the rebellion of 1798.
Organised by seven members of the Military Council of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, the Rising began on Easter Monday, 24 April 1916, and lasted for six days. Members of the Irish Volunteers — led by schoolmaster and Irish language activist Patrick Pearse, joined by the smaller Irish Citizen Army of James Connolly, along with 200 members of Cumann na mBan — seized key locations in Dublin and proclaimed an Irish Republic. There were isolated actions in other parts of Ireland, with an attack on the Royal Irish Constabulary barracks at Ashbourne, County Meath and abortive attacks on other barracks in County Galway and at Enniscorthy, County Wexford.
Easter (Old English usually Ēastrun, -on, or -an; also Ēastru, -o; and Ēostre), also called Pasch (derived, through Latin: Pascha and Greek Πάσχα Paskha, from Aramaic: פסחא, cognate to Hebrew: פֶּסַח Pesaḥ) or Resurrection Sunday, is a festival and holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day of his burial after his crucifixion by Romans at Calvary c. 30 AD. It is the culmination of the Passion of Christ, preceded by Lent (or Great Lent), a forty-day period of fasting, prayer, and penance.
The week before Easter is called Holy Week, and it contains the days of the Easter Triduum, including Maundy Thursday, commemorating the Maundy and Last Supper, as well as Good Friday, commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus. In western Christianity, Eastertide, the Easter Season, begins on Easter Sunday and lasts seven weeks, ending with the coming of the fiftieth day, Pentecost Sunday. In Orthodoxy, the season of Pascha begins on Pascha and ends with the coming of the fortieth day, the Feast of the Ascension.
1916 (MCMXVI) was a leap year starting on Saturday (dominical letter BA) of the Gregorian calendar and a leap year starting on Friday (dominical letter CB) of the Julian calendar, the 1916th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 916th year of the 2nd millennium, the 16th year of the 20th century, and the 7th year of the 1910s decade. Note that the Julian day for 1916 is 13 calendar days difference, which continued to be used from 1582 until the complete conversion of the Gregorian calendar was entirely done in 1929.

Easter 1916 was a turning point for Ireland and its situation between Home Rule and Irish soldiers serving on the fronts of Gallipoli and the Western Front. And even though the Easter Rising, the armed uprising against the British was unsuccessful, the spark for Irish nationalism ultimately led to the establishment of the Irish Republic. » HOW CAN I SUPPORT YOUR CHANNEL?

Starring Irish-born Liam Neeson, Julia Roberts, Aidan Quinn, and Alan Rickman, this extraordinary historical epic was directed by celebrated Neil Jordan and received two Academy Award nominations. Michael Collins, one of Ireland's most controversial patriots and revolutionary heroes, leads his countrymen in their fight for independence. Having come of age in the early 20th century, when a monumental history of oppression and bloodshed had divided Ireland and its people, Collins was arrested during the 1916 Easter Uprising, when Irish revolutionaries surrendered to the overwhelming military power of the British forces after a six-day standoff at Dublin's General Post Office. Upon his release, he took leadership of the Irish independence movement and strove to create a free and peaceful coun...

Video tribute the rebels of the Easter Uprising, 1916. The version of Foggy Dew is by a little known Spanish group called Banshee. The images are from Michael Collins and the Seachtar na Cásca series.
Easter a century ago was not a time of peace in Ireland. The 1916 Easter Uprising - in which hundreds of people were killed or injured - was an armed rebellion by Republicans to end British rule. Lasting six days, it went largely undocumented, due to the costly and cumbersome nature of photography. But a new exhibition at The Photographers' Gallery in London is aiming to show how the then new medium played an important role in informing Ireland's national consciousness that eventually led to independence, featuring rarely seen pictures going back to the 1840s.

Documentary about Easter Rising - 'From Special Features section of Young Indiana Jones Chronicles TV Series'
Directed and edited by Marcus Howard. In the last 100 years Thomas Clarke has been largely overlooked and forgotten yet it was he who was the driving force of the rebellion and it was his drive, enthusiasm and natural sense of independence which led the Irish Republican Brotherhood decision to start a rebellion during the great war. The other signatories of the Proclamation insisted that he should sign it first he was held in such high esteem for his unbreakable spirit. This documentary relates the exciting journey Clarke made from the dynamite campaign, his 15 years penal servitude to The Rising. This story is told by the grand-niece of Kathleen Clarke and author of "16 Lives Tom Clarke" by Helen Litton. It also includes distinguished historians Micheal O'Doibhilin and Joseph EA Connell J...

History Matters is a brand new show which interrogates current perspectives on the past. Our first episode is an Easter special. WORLDbytes volunteers are joined by Kevin Rooney and James Heartfield, co-authors of Who's Afraid of the Easter Rising? 1916-2016, to discuss attitudes to the Centenary and the importance of the revolution itself. The lack of enthusiasm for the Easter Rising amongst today's governing elites are we learn, attempts to dilute the meaning of Easter 1916 to suit the politics of 2016. The rebels' fight struck the first blow against the barbarism of the First World War and deserves to be celebrated fully. Do watch, share & join in the debate.
