Vigil on Holy Saturday evening, Lighting of Holy Fire, Exsultet, Homily & First Mass of Easter

for 1 hour, 15 mins
Mitcham, St Peter & St Paul - Mitcham Parish Church
Church Road Mitcham, CR4 3BP, United Kingdom

As we wait in the darkness, we hear of God's promises to us to save us all -and we symbolically light a fire from which the great Easter Candle is lit and processed through the church, spreading light as it goes. This symbol of the Resurrection of Jesus stands amidst us as we joyfully celebrate the Fist Mass and receive our first Communion of Easter Day.
Alleluia! Christ is Risen! He is Risen, indeed! Alleluia!
Celebration Refreshments (and possibly a firework!) follow this Service.
