Alleluia is said from Easter Vigil through Friday of Pentecost Octave

The opening versicle at Compline during Paschaltide, distinguished by the characteristic Alleluia added to the Deus in adjutorium.

The Alleluia, suppressed from Septuagesima through Holy Saturday, returns at the Easter Vigil and continues through the Friday of the Pentecost Octave.
