Our celebration of Easter 20234 begins with the lighting of the new fire, and the blessing and lighting of our Easter Candle. In good weather this will happen outside of the church porch. We move into church and proclaim the Good News of the resurrection. A series of readings and psalms follows, reminding us of the plan of salvation. The Gloria and the church bells ring out, all the candles and lamps in the church are lit, and our font is blessing and baptism pledges renewed. The first mass of Easter follows.
