We warmly invite you to join us for the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday, the most powerful and symbolic service of the Christian year.
Beginning in darkness, we gather around the Easter fire, from which the new Paschal candle is lit—a sign of Christ, the light of the world. From this single flame, light is shared and carried into the darkened church, as the hope of the resurrection धीरे dispels the darkness.
Through Scripture and prayer, we trace God’s saving work through history, before moving into the joy of Easter. The service culminates in the first celebration of Holy Communion of Easter, as we rejoice together in the risen Christ.
This is a service of movement from darkness to light, from waiting to joy—marking the moment when death is overcome and new life begins.
