The Easter Vigil in the Holy Night - The resurrection of the Lord,
2025-04-19 19:00 - 21:15 UTC | St Leonard & St Jude Scawsby with S. Luke's Scawthorpe
On Holy Saturday the church waits at the Lord's tomb in prayer and fasting meditating on his passion and death and on his resurrection.
The Easter Vigil in the Holy night is the greatest and most noble of all solemnities and is in four parts.
1. The solemn of the Vigil or Lucernarium, this includes the blessing of the fire, preparation of the Paschal Candle and a procession during which the Easter Proclamation or Exsultet is sung.
2. The Liturgy of the Word.
3. The Baptismal Liturgy including the renewal of baptismal promises.
4. The Liturgy of the Eucharist.
Come and celebrate the the resurrection of the Lord with us. Yes, it is a long service but how can you better spend your time?
CHRIST IS RISEN. HE IS RISEN INDEED.
