The Celebration of the Feast of Divine Mercy
When Jesus appeared to St. Faustina as the Divine Mercy, He revealed to her the second form of worshipping His mercy, and that is the Celebration of the Feast of His Mercy. Jesus said, “Tell My priests that I want this image, which you will paint with a brush, to be solemnly blessed on the first Sunday after Easter; that Sunday is to be the Feast of Mercy.” (Diary - Divine Mercy in My Soul, 49) “The Feast of My Mercy has issued forth from My very depths for the consolation of the whole world" (Diary, 1517) "and it is confirmed in the vast depths of My tender mercies.” (Diary, 420)
He made a special promise for priests who would preach about His mercy and told St. Faustina about the many graces that could be received on that day.
