What is Easter Vigil?
Easter Vigil is a cherished tradition observed by Christians worldwide. It takes place on the evening of Holy Saturday, the day between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. This profound liturgical service commemorates Jesus Christ's resurrection and the anticipation of his triumphant return.
The Significance of Easter Vigil
Easter Vigil holds great significance in the Christian calendar as it symbolizes the transition from darkness to light, from death to life. It is a time when believers gather to celebrate the victory of Christ over sin and death. Through scripture readings, prayers, and sacraments, we renew our faith and rejoice in the hope of eternal life.
