Easter Vigil and First Eucharist of Easter

Occurring
for 1 hour, 30 mins
Venue
Haydon: St Cuthbert
Address
Haydon: St Cuthbert, Unnamed Road, Hexham, NE47 6JR, United Kingdom

The Easter Vigil marks the end of the emptiness of Holy Saturday, and leads into the celebration of Christ’s resurrection. The singing of the Exsultet, the ancient hymn of triumph and rejoicing, links this night of our Christian redemption to the Passover night of Israel’s redemption out of Egypt. Christian baptism is a participation in the death and resurrection of Christ, a dying to sin in order to be reborn in him, and the Easter Vigil was from early Christian times a preferred occasion for baptism. It is fittingly a time when those who are already Christians may repeat with renewed commitment the promises of their own baptism, and strengthen their sense of incorporation into the royal and priestly ministry of the whole people of God. The Easter Gospel is proclaimed with all the joy and splendour that the church can find.

THE EASTER LITURGY The Easter Vigil followed by the Service of Light and the First Eucharist of Eas

Occurring
for 1 hour, 30 mins
Venue
St John of Beverley
Address
St John Lee Hexham, NE46 4PE, United Kingdom

From earliest times Christians have gathered through the night of Easter to recall the story of God’s saving work, from creation through to the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. However, the Easter Liturgy is not merely a presentation of God’s work. It is meant to be a real experience of new life for the worshipper, a passing from darkness to light which offers hope to all the faithful. It is therefore important that the preparation is prayerful and thorough.

Stations of the Resurrection

Occurring
for 1 hour
Venue
St Aidan, Fourstones
Address
Fourstones Hexham, NE47 5DB, United Kingdom

The Stations of the Resurrection, also known as the Via Lucis (Way of Light), is a devotional practice that focuses on the events following Jesus's death and resurrection, rather than his journey to the cross. It encourages meditation on Jesus's appearances to his disciples and other significant events surrounding the Resurrection, offering a contrasting perspective to the Stations of the Cross,
