The Great Vigil of Easter begins in darkness. The Pascal Candle is lit and processed through the Chapel; the Exsultet is sung and the Old Testament Prophecies are recalled. Then follows the Blessing of the Holy Water and the Renewal of our Baptismal Vows. As the Litany is sung, the Chapel is decorated and the Solemn Alleluia is proclaimed. The First Mass of Easter is celebrated. The Queen of Seasons has arrived!
