Holy Saturday – the time when Jesus was in the tomb. Then … finally we get to Easter, but we can’t quite wait until Easter morning, so we celebrate the night of Jesus’
resurrection starting just after sunset, at 7:45 p.m. on Saturday with the Great Vigil of Easter. During this ancient service we light the new fire and bring light into the church for the recounting of our salvation history. Then, after we have renewed our Baptismal Vows, we celebrate the resurrection in a joyful singing of the Gloria before celebrating the first Eucharist of Easter. The service bulletin is here.
