Easter Liturgy

Occurring
for 1 hour, 15 mins
Venue
St Margaret's, Ilkley
Address
Queens Road Ilkley, LS29 9QL, United Kingdom

The climax of the entire liturgical year, our celebration of the Easter Liturgy begins as darkness falls on Holy Saturday. We light the paschal candle from the new fire, hear readings and sing canticles of God’s saving action in creation in times past, and acclaim the Resurrection in very dramatic fashion. Hear music from the choir and the ancient chant of the church, and sing some joyful hymns of Easter. Mass includes the renewal of baptismal vows. Please join us for this wonderful act of worship. A liturgical guide to Holy Week is attached.
