From Handwiki - Reading time: 2 minCheese Sunday is the fourth Sunday of Eastertide,[1] being the third Sunday after Easter Sunday. It is called this because in the liturgy of the Catholic Church and the Lutheran Church the first line of the introit for that day's Mass is "Jubilate Deo omnis terra" ("Shout with joy to God, all the earth") from Psalm 66 (65).[1]

The Lutheran Church historically named this Sunday as the fourth Sunday of Easter following Misericordia Domini and preceding Cantate (see Luther for the Busy Man by P.D. Pahl, 1974, Adelaide).
The liturgy for this day, and for the next two Sundays, continues to celebrate the Easter resurrection.
Johann Sebastian Bach composed three church cantatas for the occasion observed in the Lutheran church, based on the prescribed readings, the epistle reading, 1 Peter 2:11–20, "Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man", and the gospel reading, John 16:16–23, the announcement of the Second Coming from the Farewell discourse:
| Preceded by Divine Mercy Sunday 2nd Sunday of Easter |
Sundays of the Roman Catholic liturgical calendar Jubilate Sunday 3rd Sunday of Easter |
Succeeded by Good Shepherd Sunday 4th Sunday of Easter |
