Vigil and Eucharist for Holy Saturday

for 1 hour, 10 mins
St Mary's Ware
Church Street Ware, SG12 9EH, United Kingdom
An ancient service moving from darkness to light as we recall the night of the resurrection of Jesus
The service begins in darkness with a series of bible readings; after which we go outside to light the first candles of Easter, bringing the light slowly back into the church to announce the resurrection. A Eucharist follows, with renewal of baptismal vows
