The Triduum: Easter Vigil

for 1 hour, 30 mins
St John the Evangelist, Corby Glen
Church Street Corby Glen Grantham, NG33 4NJ, United Kingdom

The Easter Vigil is made up of four main elements.

1. The Service of Light
The resurrection of Christ is proclaimed.
The Easter Candle, symbolizing Christ, the light of the world,
is lit and passed through the Church and to the congregation.
The Exsultet, an ancient Easter song of praise, is sung.

2. The Vigil
At the heart of this is the reading of key passages from Scripture telling of God’s saving love.

3. The Liturgy of Baptism
Members of the congregation re-affirm their Baptismal Vows as a public declaration of their union with Christ in his death and resurrection.

4. The Eucharist
The celebration of the Eucharist is the proper climax of the Easter Vigil. It is the moment when we are reunited with our risen Lord after the harrowing events of Good Friday and the emptiness of Holy Saturday.
