I am a member of a nondenominational church of Christ the Lord. We do a semi-pageant-style Christmas Eve service every year, with lots of back-and-forth responsive reading and interspersed music, with candles and lights towards the end. After last night's, an elder and I were discussing the possibility of doing something similar at Resurrection Sunday. The Roman churches have long had what they call midnight masses, and both of us are familiar with blessings within; but certainly we will not call it a "mass", and before we go to any possible detail, we need a name. The Holy One has not caused most of our church to be concerned with the origin of the usual six-letter name reallocated to Resurrection Sunday, but I will not use nor recommend such a name. So I was wondering, what are other short names for this day in other languages, in the other human cultures within the body of Christ, names which have never been unholy unto the Lord?
