The Great Vigil of Easter

The Great Vigil of Easter

The Great Vigil of Easter is the official beginning of the Easter season and a favorite service of many. Worship will include moving music from our Parish Choir. We begin in darkness and the liturgy consists of four parts: The Service of Light, which includes lighting the Paschal candle, The Service of Lessons, with readings that tell the story of redemption from Creation to Jesus Christ, Christian Initiation, in which baptismal vows are renewed, and The Eucharist, the first Eucharist of Easter.
