Easter Vigil

Occurring
for 1 hour, 30 mins
Venue
Christ Church, Waltham Cross
Address
Christ Church High Street Waltham Cross Herts, EN8 7ED, United Kingdom

The Easter Vigil is the most sacred and dramatic liturgy of the Christian year, marking the passage from darkness to light and celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Held after nightfall on Holy Saturday, it begins in silence and darkness outside the church, where a new fire is kindled and the Paschal Candle is lit—symbolising Christ as the Light of the World.

From this single flame, the light is gradually shared among the congregation, illuminating the church as the ancient hymn “Exsultet” is proclaimed. The service then unfolds through a series of readings from Scripture, recounting the story of salvation from creation through to the resurrection.

The Vigil also includes the renewal of baptismal promises, and often the baptism and confirmation of new members of the Church. The celebration then reaches its joyful climax in the first Eucharist of Easter, as the Church rejoices in the risen Lord.
