The Easter Vigil

for 1 hour
Newbold Parish Church, St John's
St. John's Road Newbold Chesterfield, S41 8PE, United Kingdom

The service on Easter Eve (Holy Saturday 4 April at 8pm) consists of three parts. Firstly, we start the service in darkness as we listen to some readings and await the risen Christ (the vigil). Secondly, the Paschal candle is lit from the new fire of Easter and brought in procession into the church, and all the candles in church are lit from this. Jesus, the light of the world, is risen. Alleluia! (the service of light). And thirdly, we renew our baptismal vows. As we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead, we remember that through the paschal mystery we have died and been buried with him in baptism, so that we may rise with him to new life within the family of his Church. Now that we have completed our observance of Lent, we renew the promises made at our baptism.
Everyone is welcome to experience this moving service, whether you are used to church or not.
