The Easter Vigil and Readings followed by The Easter Liturgy

for 2 hours
Salisbury Cathedral
West Walk Salisbury, SP1 2EJ, United Kingdom

At the end of the Easter Vigil, we move outside for the ‘sun arising in the East’ at 5am. We kindle a fire, from which the Easter candle is lit, then enter the still-dark Cathedral and raise the candle as a sign of Jesus’ rising. All are welcome.
