This beautiful service combines the Easter Eve Vigil with the Service of Light. We begin outside with a bonfire to light the Paschal Candle, before entering the dark church with our own candles lit from the Light of Christ. We hear the Easter Vigil readings then celebrate the resurrection in the first Eucharist of Easter.
