Easter Vigil and Celebration: in darkness we hear ancient prophecies of God's saving power. A new fire is lit in the churchyard and the Paschal Candle, signifying the light of Christ, is carried into the darkened church. The Exsultet is sung and the Gospel of the Resurrection is proclaimed. The first Eucharist of Easter is celebrated and the service ends with rejoicing and praise, fanfares and the ringing of bells.
