PASCHAL VIGIL & FIRST MASS OF EASTER

for 1 hour, 15 mins
St. Agnes Kennington Park
St Agnes Place Kennington, SE11 4BB, United Kingdom

The Easter Vigil is the most important and solemn liturgy in the Christian calendar, celebrated on Holy Saturday night, marking the beginning of Easter and the Resurrection of Jesus. It begins in darkness, symbolizing the world before Christ, and starts with the blessing of the new fire and the Paschal candle, representing the light of Christ rising from the dead.

The Vigil includes multiple key parts: The Liturgy of Light (with the Paschal candle procession), The Liturgy of the Word (several readings recounting salvation history), The Liturgy of Baptism (where new members may be baptized or confirmed), and
The Liturgy of the Eucharist, which is the First Mass of Easter, celebrating the risen Christ. This Mass marks the joyous return of "Alleluia" and the beginning of the 50-day Easter season.
